...David Frum, Republican conservative who thinks his party has gone too
far to the right:


"You've worked hard all your life. You've paid Medicare taxes for almost
30 years. But under the Republican plan, Medicare won't be there for
you. Instead of Medicare as it exists now, under the Republican plan
you'll get a voucher that will pay as little as half your Medicare costs
when you turn 65—and as little as a quarter in your 80s. And all so that
millionaires and billionaires can have a huge tax cut."

True, too.

Not exactly. Those are the fighting words by those opposed to
Medicare reform, but don't really tell the whole story. Ryan has
modified his original plan several times in attempts to make it more
palatable to all. Bottom line is that unless modified, Medicare will
become insolvent and there won't be any program for anyone. Key points
to be made:


I appreciate your analysis of Ryan's plans, but I prefer modifications
of Medicare to come from the party of those who actually care about
our aging population, and not from a snarky young congressmen and a
political party whose only interest is protecting the wealthy.


So you don't care about the problems or how the problems can be fixed,
you are only happy if the Democrats are behind it - good or bad. Got
it. It doesn't get any more simple-minded than that.
