Under GOP Medicare Will End Abruptly - That Is Their Promise

Obama helped Medicare be extended another 10 years. If ACA goes Medicare will be bankrupt much sooner. And seniors need to understand when Medicare come to insolvency, there WILL BE NO VOUCHERS. The checks will stop abruptly. The reason we cannot afford it. I believe the "voucher" proposal is a mirage actually. Vouchers will not save the program and are a ploy about having "choice". When push comes to shove the GOP is perfectly ok and capable of just stopping the checks.

So if you think as a senior over 55 that you are safe, that is far from reality. Medicare will need shoring up and the voucher proram will not shore it up unless the vouchers are reduced severely.
