Subsidies. whatever you think of the programs, repealing obama care increases the deficit, but when romney gets kind of serious, even though hes still kind of vague, the big categories he identifies for cuts, and im quoting from his speech in detroit, are medicaid and food stamps, housing subsidies and training. you turn medicare into a voucher program in the future, spend more on defense now, and cut the hell out of programs for the poor to pay for it. they need to do this in part because they ...

Even though hes still kind of vague, the big categories he identifies for cuts, and im quoting from his speech in detroit, are medicaid and food stamps, housing subsidies and training. you turn medicare into a voucher program in the future, spend more on defense now, and cut the hell out of programs for the poor to pay for it. they need to do this in part because they simply refuse to raise taxes. if you believe their pledges and their budge, they would prefer to cut health care for the poor tha...

Uncertainty, but the article seems to indicate to me, at least, that theres fairly strong evidence that the costs of medicare advantage are actually lower after you adjust for risk but again, this is an issue and its one of the things we need to debate and find out. there is another example, however, of the voucher program that ryan proposes, succeeding in medicare, and thats part d, which is for drug benefits. went that was introduced in 2006, it turned out that the costs were much lower than a...

Health. it isnt just choice. its economics, its medicare. most of the people on medicare are women. ryan wants to end medicare, turn it into a voucher program. give an old lady, an 80-year-old woman a voucher and say you know, we know its $6,000 short, go out and find health insurance. this is not good for the country and i think what todd akin did is just open up that window to look beyond todd akin and when people realize hes not getting out of the race, its because hes thinking why should i g...

Heres nbcs chuck todd on that. >> medicare to florida, look at this. 237-266. romney can win everything else, north carolina, virginia, ohio, wisconsin, iowa, colorado, nevada, and look at that. he is too short. this is the power of medicare and power of the state of florida. >> the power of medicare. we know paul ryans budget ends medicare by turning it into a voucher program. americans dont like this idea. the new nbc poll shows 50% of voters agree with president obama. and that vouchers are a...

Will over turn the obama care. which does a better job at preserving medicare? >> i like what romney is try to go do its more of an adult -- president obama wasnt bragging about saving medicare that wasnt in any of the party lines all year long. >> providing health insurance to the uninsured. >> it wasnt about saving it. everyone knows you cant pick money from one pocket and put it in another or change the nam e f a program. you can take millions of people off medicare put them on medicaid who c...

Effectively a pay service or what democrats derisively say is a voucher system. an alternative. and democrats argue what romney and ryan would do would change medicare as we know it and deception misleading of the facts on both sides and what the democrats argue the original proposal would replace medicare with a voucher program and thats what the democrats focus on not acknowledges, even so much that romney helps and calls for to be a choice for current and future retirees, soon to retire and p...

Amount of taxes so of course he they are going to get more back because its proportionally so. what do they do with their money? they put it back into the economy they stimulate it more. when you think about it logically what he says makes no sense. myth. myth. >> perhaps myth number two seniors will completely lose medicare coverage. lets hear it from the presidents man on cbs this morning, david axelrod on that statement. >> the fact is that we took that money and we extended the length of med...

Who is 78 understands what my program is i have no intention of hurting her and other people like her, then the american people should be persuaded that the democratic demagoguery of this, they want to end entitlement and throw seniors off a cliff is no more than political tactics in a tight political race with 12 weeks before the election. its not going to subside. the romney campaign is determined it stay on offense when it comes to medicare and entitlement reform and keep pushing president ob...

Individuals, particularly wealthy individuals, we also favor a redefinition of the safety net and thats what ryan has been advocating. thats what made him a powerful voice. >> its not a safety net because he doesnt want to prioritize it. he thinks that balancing the budget and reducing the debt are really moral obligations because it makes us more generous and preserve safety nets. we need to make cuts everywhere. thats his point. >> but whatever you think of it, its a redefinition of a safety n...
