Who does nobody worry that Medicaid and Medicare will disappear?

Look at what the republicans passed and yet not a protest from anyone? Our Medicare and Medicaid is about to be eliminated and replaced by private companies.

I expect Obama will win but I get no impression that Democrats will dominate.
I hear much more about Republicans in the press which means they may get more votes.

For most uninvolved voters I'm sure it works like show business.
Any publicity is good publicity.

If a widely publicized news article explains that the Republicans plan to do this or that, the average voter only hears "Republican" just like they hear "Doritos" and it will affect their purchase, (vote).
