This plan destroys Medicare and Midecaid, under the Republican LIE, that they are just trying to SAVE Medicare and Medicaid!
No more guarantees for seniors, no more basic health care for the poor, and instead offers a "premium" support system, lol, by shifting more costs to seniors, seniors get government money to use toward a Private Insurance policy, gutting medicaid and turned into block grant, giving to states, a lump sum of money, to use as they see fit.
Anaylists fear that states would limit enrollment, and offer less coverage.
Ryan nevertheless, proves himself tirelessly generous as regards the welfare, for corporations, and when asked last night if he planned to eliminate tax breaks, to bring in more revenue, for example, in the case of the Oil Industry...he answered....
"WE don't have a tax problem. The problem with our deficit is not because Americans are taxed too little," Ryan said.
He also stated...
"We are giving them{Dems]a political weapon to use against us, but they will have to lie and demagog to use it against us."
The Republican plan lowers corporate tax rate from 35% to 24%... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif not that many of them pay it anyway.
Mr. Wendell Potter, former Health Insurance Operative/employee, said last night on the Ed show, that Insurance corporations, and the so called, American Chanber Of Congress, will spend billions, to convince Americans of this plan's positive results, and will distort the reality of the damages of this program, to Middle Class, and poor, Americans, throwing many, many of our ill, and old, into poverty. He calls this plan, a giveaway to the Health Insurance, Industry, to the detriment of everyone else.
It destroys the gains made in the Affordable Health Care Plan.
Republicans prove, once again, they wish to continue to take from all Americans, to pander to the wealthy, and to corporate interests.
I might add, the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal, Poll, shows the fllowing:
When asked what is NOT acceptable actions to take in determining the budget:
76% said no cuts to Medicare and SS
67% said no cuts to Medicaid
only 17% said no tax increases for the wealthy
About The Poll:
"Even as lawmakers from both parties — even the White House — make not-so-subtle indications that deep cuts and “reforms” to programs like Social Security and Medicare are on the table, voters are letting it be known that they are decidedly opposed to the idea.
<span style='font-size: 14pt'>A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds that overwhelming majorities of Americans call “significant” cuts to Social Security, Medicare and government spending on education are “unacceptable” ways to deal with the federal budget deficit. Nearly 80 percent of the respondents offered a vehement thumbs-down to each of these proposals that have been broached with varying levels of enthusiasm by Republicans and Democrats alike. Only a small percentage of Americans believe that any cuts to the two main government safety nets are even necessary.</span>But the most trouble could be ahead for the Republican Party as new “Tea Party” members of Congress as well as prominent conservatives considering a 2012 presidential bid have publicly backed “entitlement reform” that would entail massive cuts and drastic structural changes — including abolishing Medicare and privatizing Social Security — that Americans continue to abhor.
<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Less than a quarter of Americans support making significant cuts to Social Security or Medicare to tackle the country’s mounting deficit, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, illustrating the challenge facing lawmakers who want voter buy-in to alter entitlement programs. </span><span style='font-size: 14pt'>In the poll, Americans across all age groups and ideologies said by large margins that it was “unacceptable” to make significant cuts in entitlement programs in order to reduce the federal deficit. Even tea party supporters, by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, declared significant cuts to Social Security “unacceptable.” </span>
Even as Americans oppose cuts to popular programs, they continue to believe the deficit should be a “priority” for the president and Congress. To reduce the deficit,<span style='font-size: 14pt'> Americans are increasingly supportive of tax hikes on corporations and the wealthy, as well as eliminating billions of dollars in subsidies for energy companies, subsidies just approved again by House Republicans (74 percent of poll respondents said cutting government subsidies for the oil and gas industry was “acceptable”).
Also included in the poll was data that showed 60 percent of Americans are opposed to efforts to strip public employees of collective bargaining rights, such as the plan that has led to protests in Wisconsin and has been picked up by Republican governors and legislators in numerous states."</span>
<span style="color: #990000"> <span style='font-size: 14pt'>This is the Republican Version of listening to the American People???
Translation,.... listening to the wealthy, and to corporate interests, ONLY, and taking more and more from everyone else, to hand over to those wealthy people, who don't really need it at all, whiole so many others are barely getting by.
This is what they're REALLY doing to your children's and grand- children's futures.</span> </span>
