A few days ago, Paul Ryan speaker of the house, the guy that's going to be speaker of the
-
house when the new Republican-controlled Congress convenes in January, told Fox News Bret Baier
-
a few days ago that his first order of business is going to be dismantling Obamacare, specifically.
-
Paul Ryan wants to dismantle not only Obamacare but medicare.
-
During the interview, Paul Ryan told Baier that Obamacare has actually drained the finances
-
of medicare, the whole system is going broke, it's a failure, everything needs to be redone
-
from the bottom up.
-
Now, first of all, that's not true.
-
In fact medicare has more money today because of Obamacare.
-
Experts agree that Obamacare has increased the solvency of medicare by at least a decade.
-
Paul Ryan's first point about Obamacare weakening medicare's finances, absolutely false.
-
Here is Ryan's plan.
-
According to him, those people who are already enrolled in medicare, don't worry, you get
-
to keep your coverage at first.
-
After that, we're going to let the private insurance companies come in, kind of take
-
over, they're going to offer you different plans that cover different things, it's basically
-
going to be a cash for play thing, which is what regular health insurance is, and the
-
private industry is going to handle it just so much better than the Federal government
-
ever could.
-
Furthermore, those people who are not yet on medicare but will be some day, don't worry
-
because you'll be able to just buy health insurance, and the government is going to
-
give you some kind of subsidy to help cover it, which really doesn't do very much considering
-
the fact that the subsidies come in the form of tax rebate, so you've got to wait a full
-
year before you ever get that money back, and you are always going to be one year behind.
-
Doesn't work that way Paul Ryan.
-
We have a system in place, is it perfect?
-
Hell no.
-
Does it work?
-
Hell yes.
-
There is no reason to dismantle medicare.
-
It's not going to save you any money, all it's going to do is put more money in the
-
pockets of the private health insurance industry that's already raping consumers left and right
-
all over this country.
-
Those are the same people who fill your campaign coffers Paul Ryan, the same people who fund
-
your campaigns, the same people who help make you speaker of the house.
-
That's why you're doing this.
-
Don't try to sell this to American citizens as part of your, "a better way," plan that
-
you've been rolling out for the last six months.
-
That's total nonsense.
-
You are doing this to repay the people that put you in the office, that allowed you to
-
keep your seat, that made you speaker of the house.
-
This is ridiculous, you're going to screw over and potentially kill American citizens
-
who will not be able to afford that private health insurance.
-
Or they're going to be rejected because of some kind of preexisting condition.
-
Considering the fact that all of them are going to be aged 65 and older, it will be
-
damn near impossible for them to enter the private market and buy health insurance.
-
But hey, that's okay with you Paul Ryan, right, because you're still going to get that campaign
-
money whether or not people live or die.
-
It all works out for you in the end.
