MELBOURNE, Fla. — Courting senior voters in the key swing state of Florida, President Obama today ramped up his attack against Mitt Romney’s Medicare plan, saying the GOP presidential nominee would increase health care costs for retired Americans and bankrupt the popular entitlement program.

“I want you to know, Florida, I will never turn Medicare into a voucher,” Obama told roughly 3,000 supporters packed into a gymnasium at the Florida Institute of Technology. “That is going to be part of what’s at stake in this election.

“Their voucher plan for Medicare would bankrupt Medicare,” he said. “Our plan strengthens Medicare. No American should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of the insurance companies. They should retire with the dignity and the respect and the care that they earned.”

Under the Romney-Ryan Medicare plan, seniors beginning in 2023 would receive payments to buy private health insurance or traditional Medicare.

“They want to give the money back to the insurance companies and then put them in charge of Medicare,” Obama said.
