Ryan's right, we should stop calling it his voucher plan.

We should be calling it CouponCare.

2. Like food stamps?

When your booklet runs out of stamps you're on your own?

4. Pretty much. Or just like coupons that lots of people use.

Seniors are big users of coupons.

3. We should call it the "Republican Plan to Revoke Medicare Benefits to Future Retirees"

Call is what it is. Otherwise they'll continue their "Mediscare" crap. What it is, is unacceptable to current seniors who fear for the futures of their children and grandchildren. It's something Republicans don't understand ... it's called empathy and rational thinking.

[pnwmom]

6. Not clear enough. Because current retirees and over 55's will be affected too.

As their numbers diminish, one of two things will happen: either the government won't be able to negotiate favorable rates anymore; or they will negotiate good rates and more and more doctors will simply drop out of the Medicare program.

Either way, seniors in all generations will be screwed.

5. Medicare murder n/t

7. OK, how about "The Private Health Insurers Enrichment Plan?" n/t

[valerief]

8. Private Insurance Claim Denial Care. nt
