In short, Obama's actions are supported by senior groups. Ryan's plan, which increases costs to seniors by an average of $6,500, isn't. As a refresher, Medicare Advantage, which diverts Medicare funds to more costly private insurers was greatly expanded by Bush, and voted for by Ryan (before he axed it from his budget which he now claims he didn't really mean). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_Advantage http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/08/difference-between-paul-ryan-barack-obama-medicare.php By diverting some of the "savings" to private insurers, CBO also projects overall health care costs will increase, which is what's already happened with Medicare Advantage. Ryan's budget also includes more huge tax cuts for the wealthy. Reverse Robin Hood. What Romney/Ryan are trying to do by lying to the public about Medicare cuts is create a stalemate on the issue. For those who understand what is being cut, the choice couldn't be more clear.
Wrong thread, dog. With all of Ryan's radicalism, lies, flip flops, and bumbling around, it's easy to get confused.
