Sen. McConnell: Ryan Medicare Plan Is ‘On the Table’

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top Republican in the Senate says a controversial House Medicare plan is “on the table” as President Barack Obama and his GOP rivals wrestle over budget cuts to enact this summer.
Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that he supports the controversial plan by Rep. Paul Ryan to transform Medicare into a voucher-like system in which future beneficiaries — those 54 and younger — would get subsidies to buy health insurance rather than have the government directly pay their doctor and hospital bills.
But McConnell noted that there’s a Democrat in the White House. That means that the Ryan plan is effectively dead for now. The measure by the Wisconsin Republican congressman also fell well short in a Senate vote last week.

Right now we are a bankrupt nation and only a serious spending cut can get us out. If revenue sources can be increased or found then we can add back to the cut programs.

Posted on May 29, 2011 at 12:45pmI couldn’t help noticing that this story is written by Associated Press. This is a perfect example of the agenda of the mainstream propaganda press. In the first sentence, it places the label of “controversial” on the proposal to reform Medicare. What’s so controversial about making a program solvent? Are we so insane now that “solvency” is now controversial?
Medicare — ONE program — consumes 94% of all individual income tax revenue to the Federal government. 94%! (Medicare 2011 budget — $850 billion, individual income tax — $900 billion). Social Security and Medicare combined ($1.77 trillion) consume 93% of the individual and payroll taxes ($1.9 trillion). These two entitlements take up nearly ALL of Federal individual tax revenue. We’re borrowing nearly HALF the budget for everything else, including national defense. Something MUST give or we’re going to have a debt debacle within the next 2-3 years!

Posted on May 29, 2011 at 3:22pmYou’re right, but one weak aspect of the Republican delination of facts is WHY do the democrats not have a proposal. It should be readily apparent to anyone who has followed the process surrounding ObamaDon’tCare. THE DEVILCRATS WANT MEDICARE TO FAIL SO THEY CAN CALL FOR THE INSTITUTION OF A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM. They want socialized health care for everyone, so the sooner it reaches bankrupcy, the sooner they will have the “public support” for THEIR FIX. Why else would the remove 500 billion from MEDICARE to begin with in ObamaDon’tCare.
This is one of the planks of the communist party…don’t mess with us…we control YOUR healthcare decisions. (RATIONED CARE)
By the way. I’ve said negative things about McConnell and his compromises with Obama, but he did a fine job in handling this interview, nonetheless. Maybe his is more on board now? Why he didn’t do anything when there was a Republican President and Congress is the issue though.
The Marxist strategic platform of the democratic party is apparent to anyone who follows the issues and includes lying about the facts to deceive the populous as standard operating procedure. Unfortunately much of the voting block has swallowed their lies.

Even Senator Corad’s plan was shot down, and his new plan is more about increasing taxes. It’s about the 14.3 trillion dollar deficit, and increasing revenues is not going to solve anything.

Report Post »I crunched Ryans numbers compared to the CBO numbers. The CBO numbers state that payments in Medicare costs range anywhere from $7,500 to $4,250 yearly depending upon area of the country.Ryans numbers which would start in 2015 BTW exceed this amount per person when figuring in the CBOs estimates of inflationary modifiers.
So let me Phrase it so your little fairy mind can grasp it, Ryans plan gives MORE than the Present system will, and is guaranteed to continue to do so with automatic increases. Whereas medicare currently hasn’t increased in the last seven years, five of those due to a do nothing democratic congress that was so lame it couldn’t even write a budget.

The only thing more pathetic are the seniors in a housing tract selected to be on the HOA who then become “Geriatric Nazi’s” patrolling the neighborhead looking for violations they can blow out of proportion in order to convince themselves they still matter and have a purpose.
That they have allowed themselves to sink so low as to become hypochondriacs and “wardens of suburbia” in order to fill out their days is a sorry state. They DO have a lot to offer society still…they just choose the wrong path.
Making them (and anyone else for that matter) pay for non-emergency emergency room visits and prescriptions might be just the kick in the pants they need to become re-engaged in life.
