If your life was worth saving you'd have enough money to buy health care in your old age.

That's Paul Ryan in a fucking nutshell.

Get Out The Vote Dems - or Die !

[Angry Dragon]

1. Is that what he said??

[The Magistrate]

2. He Does Not Have To Say It, Sir: That is What His Policy Is

[RagAss]

3. Have you read his budget plan?

[Angry Dragon]

10. I have ........ I was just wondering if this was something new he said

[Fozzledick]

4. Pay cash or die!

Republican health care policy in a smaller nutshell.

5. Ryan used divid and conquer by picking 1955 as the cut off

He assumed that older folks wouldn't care so much about the younger ones if they had theirs.. I believe he was dead wrong on that

[Ikonoklast]

6. I was born in '55, and just as I get close to retirement age, Ryan would fuck me

and everyone younger who has paid into it out of their benefits, in my case, 42 years worth.


Just as my cohort gets eligible to receive any benefit from S.S., they would see it yanked out of their reach forever.

If Ryan actually thinks anyone close to my age would vote for that steaming pile, he's delusional.

7. I'm in the same zone and furious to even imagine this was considered

Have to admit when I first heard about it I felt fearful, you never know how crazy they can be.. now I just can't see the country putting up with it but everytime they discussed those years I would cringe! Not looking forward to hearing it again. I just hope the media slams him so hard with questions that his head is spinning

9. We need to make sure it doesn't become a reality.

[JDPriestly]

8. As I understand it, Ryan's Medicare plan would limit annual Medicare benefits

for a Medicare recipient.

In my mother's case, she used almost no Medicare benefits in her first 20 some years after reaching Medicare age -- and then she ended up in the hospital for a stay. Since then, she has had lots of medical costs.

The Ryan plan would be a death certificate for many seniors. Just as sure as simply poisoning them or shooting them -- certain death.

It's absolutely a horrible idea.

11. It's a death certificate for all non-millionaires.

These people are dangerous.
