While this article attacks and attacks Republicans, it neglects to tell the obvious situation...

...Without reform, medicare will cease to exist in less than two decades and NO ONE will have it...

Whether you like him or not, Ryan's plan SAVES Medicare...It doesn't put it's hands over it's eyes pretending nothing wrong until "Poof"...There's nothing left in it...

f you think private vouchers will save medicare talk to someone (ss recipient) about Part D.

Obama save 700 billion in cost saving measures. At least that is good until '33.
There is no historic pretext for insurance companies charging less. The burden on premium hikes will be on seniors.
And what does Ryan intend to do about Medicaid recipients? I haven't heard that yet, though I may have missed it.

obama cuts 700 billion from medicare deary. His plan would cut what doctors and hospitals would get in payments, and who would that hurt? Seniors. There are already doctors refusing to see medicare patients. If you think obamacare is the answer just wait a year or two if he gets reelected, that's when the real damage will start.

Medicare part D has cost 40% less than budgeted because providers must compete with each other.

Medicare will be reformed into a block grant system administered by the states. An approach similar to that of the OA on welfare work requirements.

Those "cost-saving measures" will do nothing except make the problem of lack of medical care professionals even worse. When Drs. can't make any money, they'll change how they do business so that they can afford to stay in business. This means cutting costs - like wages, equipment, supplies, training, etc.

700 was saved and some was shifted over to Obama care with the patients, Deary. That's another myth being perpetrated. Don't believe me look it up.
