Republicans hate Obamacare so much they want to turn Medicare into it

Under premium support, Medicare would make a fixed-dollar payment (often called a voucher) for each beneficiary to defray part of the cost of health insurance — either through a private plan or a form of traditional Medicare. The beneficiary’s premium would equal the difference between the voucher amount and the cost of the plan that he or she selected. Premium support would apply to all new beneficiaries starting in 2024 and to any other beneficiaries who chose to participate.

These guys get more and more disgusting.

Hey seniors, you should totally keep voting for these guys that want to lower your social security benefits and raise your medical costs. Don't forget that Romney's 47% figure included you and not just those welfare-mooching minorities.

Kind of frustrating

No, this isn't Obamacare. Rather, it's an attempt to decouple providing service from paying for it--this makes it possible for the government to fail to keep the voucher up with the actual cost. It's really an attempt to slowly destroy Medicare.

It really is pretty amazing....the parallels between the anti-Medicare-For-All (in Canada), and what we're hearing, presently.....especially from doctors.
