Paul Ryan Explains the Medicare Crisis … one more time
Paul Ryan continues to press his plan and for good reason … Medicare is headed for bankruptcy. The SOS posted on that here. But Paul Ryan explains it in this video … again. Don’t like this plan? Ask the Dems what’s their plan?

I hope Paul keeps talking about his plan because it is destroying him and his croney greedy republicans, that don’t care about anything but themselves.They think old people are a problem so they want to?get rid of them by giving them a coupon?for a medical treatment. What the great scamers want to do is:? ?if the bill is 30,000 dollars they will give you 10,000 and let the poor old folks, and future young people fend for themselves or drop dead. That is not the America anybody wants and the smart republicans in NY PROVED IT. Lets clean house in 2012!!!!!?
Wow, RJ is overdosing on the KoolAid!
?
Maybe he/she might give us some specifics.? Maybe he/she might actually listen to Ryan’s explanation and give us a factual retort.? I suspect that under that thin veneer of Huffpo and DU talking points, there is a vast, empty wasteland, devoid of ideas, but feel free to prove me wrong.? You might also address why your heroes in the Democrat controlled Senate refuse, yes, refuse, to come up with a required budget, and haven’t done so for over 750 days.? When is the Democrat economic cavalry coming to the rescue??? If they have all the answers, let’s see them.
?
The House cleaning started in 2010; we will finish the job in 2012.? Let’s include the do nothing Democrat “led” Senate in that task.
The Democrats never put up a budget, medicare plan, or social security cure. The play book is to do nothing and attack every idea that comes along. Liberalism is based on lies and illusion – never say what your intentions are. SOCIALISM!!!!!
Five Republican Senators voted against Paul Ryan’s plan. Does that mean anything?
Sammy nobody voted for obamas plan. Does that mean anything?

The democrat plan is to do nothing?and allow the Obama administration to continue transforming the U.S.A.?Continue to allow the crisis, which will not be wasted, to build and build, facilitating the need for drastic executive branch intervention. The media will be complicit or silenced, hence the need for the progressive media “czar”. How’s that for a conspiracy?
Democrat politicians have lost their souls ( the result of 100 years of progressive policy). If you are a JFK democrat here is news flash….Your party has been co-opted, sheeple.
TomL: the vote of 97-0 was against a motion to take up the budget. That is NOBODY wanted to deal w/ the issue. That’s NO leadership on the part of Dem/Rep/Ind Senators.
I would be more willing to bet that nobody wanted to bother to READ the text of any budget proposal before their umpteenth holiday “recess”.? Which also speaks to a lack of leadership, not to mention that nagging responsibility to the voters.
So, now the 2012 campaign will be about Medicare’s future-more so than j-o-b-s (which, btw,? the new R majority in the house has done nothing about).
The D’s have now taken a page from the R’s playbook and will run with it for the next year and a half.
BTW, where did Ryan pull that $15,000/yr figure from? Was it hand delivered to him from one of the R’s largest benefactors, the insurance industry?
The 4 of the 5 Republican members who voted against it have been accused of being RINOs.? And #5 I think doesn’t feel that it went far enough (he submitted his own, failed 7-90).? The 97-0 vote and 40-57 votes were both taken to proceed, so it sounds like the only leadership on the thing is coming from the Republican side.? I’m still waiting for the dissenting votes to come up with an alternative.? In addition to these 2 budgets, it looked like there were 2 others voted on (both Republican with NO Democrat supporters).?
Crystal, FYI health PACs tend to favor Democrats 55% to 45% (OpenSecrts.org).? In addition, the budget consists of tax breaks that will help with j-o-b-s.? If business do well, at least they won’t lay anyone off.? Hopefully, they start hiring more.
I seem to recall that the healthcare insurance industry was supporting Coakley (pro ?bamacare) in the election against Scott Brown (http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/news/coakley-trouble-pharma-and-hmo-lobbyists-rescue).
?
The R’s have been pretty busy making budgets that the D’s didn’t want to do.? Where is that Senate budget, since we are talking about J-O-B-S (Biden’s three letter word)?
They’ve been busy alright-selling their “Pathway To Prosperity”. Great plan.
Spin it all you want-the R’s never wanted medicare in the first place-this is “privitizing” medicare-essentually the end of the program.
If people under 55 cannot afford insurance now, where the heck do they think they will get money to supplement the voucher at insurance costs 13 years from now?!
Thanks all for responding to Crystal and Sammy as for RJ better left unsaid. I am tired of being polite and getting sickened by Democrat controlled talking bites and non action on anything except spending MY money. So now I’m Loud and Proud (courtesy of Laura Ingraham). I have just put my new bumper sticker on my Mini…. “Ryan’s Way or the Highway” . I no longer care if I offend anyone.
Crystal: let’s switch your sentence around: “If the country cannot afford insurance now, where the heck do they think we will get money to pay for medicare/?bamacare at insurance costs 13 years from now?!”
?
If people weren’t removed from the cost, i.e. the insurance company will pay for it, and had to pay out of pocket, the costs would be a fraction of what they are now.? You can see that every day in your own life.
?
Now if we could just get rid of tax witholding, and union due witholding etc…..? 😉
Medicare can be fixed without Ryan’s vicious plan. I’d like Clinton to work on it-he had the better health care reform (the government plan for all) which was quickly squashed by the R’s.
Hate to open up all the right wing talking points I will be barraged with but here-eliminate Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy-go back to at least Clinton era tax rates (yeah, yeah, I know, but let’s be honest now-the “trickle down” didn’t and is not happening).
End the wars! We know now that the “War On Terror” is best fought with special ops, intelligence, etc. NOT “boots on the ground”.
Oh, since I am out on a limb here-why are safe roads and bridges and police and fire considered a “right” but not health care?

I don’t understand all Ryan’s fancy talk and numbers … uhhh … so that must mean … uhh … HE WANTS TO SHOVE GRANNY OFF A CLIFF!
Crystal, because protection and infrastructure are guaranteed rights not Healthcare
I suspect that Crystal hasn’t a clue about what is really in Ryan’s plan.
No, because, no one is as smart as you.
(When you have no response, resort to ad hominem attacks.)
Case in point.
