According to the LATimes.com, “under the Republican approach to Medicare, the next generation of seniors, those now 55 years old and younger, would be given a fixed stipend to buy health insurance.”
That’s going to take a mighty big stipend. Are they nuts? Where are the guarantees?
On Friday:
Mitt Romney‘s running mate, Paul Ryan, was booed at the annual AARP convention after saying that, if elected, their Republican administration would repeal the nation’s healthcare law as the best way to save Medicare.
Just five minutes into his talk at the gathering of the powerful 50-and-older lobby on Friday, the architect of the Republican proposal to change Medicare for the next generation of seniors was repeatedly interrupted as he criticized President Obama’s healthcare law.
Things got worse by the time Ryan said they would repeal “Obamacare.” He thought he could explain what he was talking about but the AARP conventioners would have none of that. The booes persisted and some in the audience shouted that Ryan was a liar. Some finally marched out on Ryan.
