and
this with this appears to be the the basically the ammo and
the way they set the table now for this stuff
is of course to say that we're broke
we're broke we need to make the hard decisions
can really go into what those hard decisions are because essentially what
they are we need to make the difficult decision to screw
the vast majority of americans
for the benefit of the rich
paul ryan in his plan
called for the ending of medicare
except for you continue to call it medicare
and that's why you if you say that paul ryan call to the end of the medicare so
many issues you seven pinocchio sir simply
and i'll remind you that condo keogh
did not live more than an average person
or pop it
it's just that his nose groups
so there is no logic behind multiple pune tokyo's
the logic should be on the length of his notes
but aside from that little detail
what is medicare
social insurance
provided and administered by the government
to increase their buying power
it was an experiment called medicare advantage
wherein people can opt-out of medicare
and put that money and the government basically pay private insurers
what they have found overtime is that
the government ended up paying about twenty percent more
for that health insurance
when it was paid directly to the uh... private insurers and not through the
bull negotiating rights uh... abilities medicare
part of the affordable care act
diverted about a hundred and
howell fifty billion dollars
from that program
into other programs of medicare and into the expansion of medicaid
ended resulted in
no reported
loss of benefits
from enrollees
so what
paul ryan wants to do is essentially say okay this is defined contribution plan
no longer defined benefit plan
medicare as you know
provides you with a minimum basic um... amount of health insurance
relative to how much
health care costs you have when you get old
in the ryan plan you continue to pay into medicare
and what they do is they kick you out a voucher
coupon essentially
this is take this coupon to a private insurer
go onto the private insurance market
and buy insurance for you is sixty five-year-old person
we will not raise the amount of that coupon
regardless of how much health insurers excuse me health insurance or health
care costs rise
and at the beginning is still will be under water
he would essentially destroy medicaid
replace it with a lump sum for states to use as they saw fit
and for all the uninsured because of course brian wants to
i guess like romney on day one
repeal the affordable care act
it would give money
two of the uninsured
socially another coupon twenty five hundred dollars
to buy your own plant is there any single insurance plan
you can buy in the country for twenty five hundred dollars a year
much harder i would assume to jerking
