$64,000 Question - If Romney Wins Abolishes ACA And Cuts Medicare $716 Billion -----

like Ryan proposes and cuts taxes on Billionaires, what will happen if Medicare becomes insolvent by 2016? Obama's plan keeps Medicare solvent until 2024. With no new taxes and a military budget of nearly $1 trillion dollars will they just end Medicare. Remember their vouchers would not go into effect until after Medicare technically is insolvent following their plan.

What R$R and the GOP are saying just does not add up. And I do believe they are keeping a dark secret about Medicare. In my opinion they will not pass vouchers but will find a way to shut the program down. They are that snarky.

In fact, I fear this is something that Dems will eventually compromise on even if the President is re-elected. I sure hope not though. It is a terrible idea.
