Wow! Senators Cruz, Lee and Paul vote against protecting Medicare

[ProSense]

To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund to protect Medicare's guaranteed benefits and to prohibit replacing guaranteed benefits with the House passed budget plan to turn Medicare into a voucher program.

3. So what exactly is this reserve fund and is it supposed to pass the house?

Or is it DOA?

4. It's to protect Medicare
