Medicare would be cut $30 billion over 10 years. The federal health program would remain as a fee-for-service system with a guaranteed set of benefits for people now 55 and older.
In his most dramatic proposal, Mr. Ryan's plan would end Medicare's benefit guarantee in favor of having seniors choose among private health plans. The U.S. would subsidize the premium payments with an average payment starting at $8,000. That subsidy wouldn't be guaranteed to keep pace with the rate of health care inflation, leaving beneficiaries potentially to face growing out-of-pocket costs.
so any thoughts on the Republicans voting to end medicare?
thank god these guys aren't in power and god help us if they ever get there.
Private health insurance companies are sharks. Is voting to end medicare and handing retired people over to these private health insurance companies the most sinister thing the republican party has ever done?
so they want to end medicare and medicaid and give even more tax cuts to the very rich (dropping the top rate down to 25%)
the republicans immorality and perniciousness never ceases to amaze me
