Wow.
A new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a non-partisan health care outfit, says that under the kind of voucher plan that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are proposing, Medicare costs could up $200/month in some states.
The study makes clear that it is based on the Romney/Ryan plan.

(15,139 posts)They won't go there. The people who are opposed to "Obamacare" have no clue what it involves. They should be shaking in their boots about the prospect of its reversal and they should be terrified of Romney/Ryan's plan to throw just about everybody under the bus. The R's have done such an effective job with the propaganda that they've convinced half the country (super rich exempted) to vote against their own self-interest.

(801 posts)I hope this is brought up tomorrow in the debate and all over the news, etc.! I'm a senior who gets Tri-care for life in addition to Medicare so I don't think it'll affect me but just the same, I don't want to take chances for myself or for others with Romney! This sort of crap doesn't affect him and his wealthy cronies! So he doesn't care obviously!
