The Ryan "plan" does amount to the elimination of medicare and, yes, come election time you can damn well bet that angry seniors are going to target anyone who was dumb enough to vote for it.
Granny (and similar people) should be given a fighting chance. Give granny a knife, 20 feet of rope, matches, several packets of dehydrated food and set her out in the wilderness.

Not for anyone over the age of 54!So, obviously it does not directly affect any seniors now or in the immediate or near term future.
So, you are talking about 20 years of advanced planning for those who will be impacted. Or, you could just keep the unsustainable spending and crash all of Medicare much sooner. I believe the newest estimate is that Medicare will be completely broke within 14 years.
Do you prefer 14 years to crash it completely or 20 years to responsibly transition and allow people (54 and younger) to plan ahead for their health care and saving funds for it?
Exactly. dot bob and other far left posters conveniently ignore the half $billion Obama took from Medicare to start-up Obamacare. How many grannies were to be given Dr. Obama's "blue pill" for that one?
The left would rather collapse this country than to accept that we must become fiscally responsible ASAP! The left doesn't believe in people providing for themselves and their own family members. No, their answer to everything is BIG GOVERNMENT programs.
What happened to finding the waste in medicare in order to fund it?

Since when did Obama bashers care about granny and anyone else? Stop playing that stupid theater. It's generally known that the Republicans could care less about sick people.
