    Republicans would have us believe Obamacare is bad for America. Is there any doubt that a Romney administration would favor the rich and increase the income gap in our country while leaving millions of our citizens uninsured and unprotected? Mitt is a pariah in Mormon Clothing and will stop at nothing to expand an empire of greed for the rich in this country. Can his sacred Mormon underwear gain him enough donations to buy this election? See for yourself as Mitt dons his tighty-whities sent from the Good Lord Himself at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot....underwear.html

    Tough when the audience knows that you are lying. The Affordable Care Act extended solvency of Medicare by eight years. It cut $715 billion in waste that otherwise would have gone to healthcare insurance companies and providers and it reduced the cost to seniors by closing Bush’s prescription drug loophole.

    While a single payer Medicare for All system would have been superior to the Affordable Care Act, Ryan was speaking to an audience who knew that voucher care would end Medicare as we know it and, together with a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, would leave seniors to the mercy of a health insurance industry that could again deny care based on preexisting conditions.

    In the end, the solution for seniors under voucher care would be to die.

    Paul Ryan came across as what he he is — a shyster peddling shoddy merchandise trying to loot audience that knows better.

    Medicare currently represents a losing equation for young and old, seniors and taxpayers. Medicare is spending taxpayers’ money faster than any other government program. It is facing insolvency in its hospitalization program, and it is generating trillions of dollars of massive long-term debt.
    Congress and the American people will have to make a choice. Medicare’s current course is disastrous, for seniors and taxpayers alike. There are finite resources available to reverse the current course, but the faster that policymakers act, the less difficult the task will be.
    There is a better alternative. That alternative rests in harnessing the market forces of choice and competition, and making them the centerpiece of reform, while targeting aid to those who need it most.
