http://blog.aflcio.org/2011/05/24/pop-quiz-what-will-rep-ryans-robin-hood-in-reverse-budget-do-to-america/

A. A typical 65-year-old would spend $6,359 more per year out of pocket for health care by 2022 because Medicare�s promise would be replaced with underfunded vouchers.

B. At least 15 million U.S. residents would lose Medicaid health care.

C. $4.2 trillion in new tax cuts would be handed out mostly to corporations and the rich.

D. All of the above.

(more)

Reminds me of the Mideival protocol for dealing with many deseases: Bleed the patient.

2. If Medicare was abolished or seriously revamped...

how many families would be trying to help their parents out that are on those programs?? Would there be any requirement that the children of elderly parents be required to pay for those services?
