Medicaid still grows under the Ryan plan but is is run at a more local state level. Democrats continue to fight any changes in Medicaid which will lead to bankruptcy and be an end to all of Medicaid. Obamacare puts healthcare in charge of 15 bureaucrats ( a death panel ). The Ryan plan lets seniors have control of their healthcare.

Government Promises Lead to Economic Dark Age
It is impossible to grow our way out of this hole. Arithmetic, rather than economics or politics, dictates the two options! The Ponzi scheme known as the democratic welfare state has run its course. Only its obituary is left to write.

Dems immediately lie about Ryan plan
New Dem ad lies about GOP budget plan even though they don’t have a plan. Democrats have not had a budget in three years. There is NO Democrat plan to decrease the unsustainable debt increase which will be $16 TRILLION by election day. Yet Dems put out an ad lying about the Ryan plan even before it was introduced to the public.

We’re Already Europe
At the very least, can our economy survive such a crushing burden of government spending, and its attendant level of taxes and debt? Given this looming disaster, President Obama has just submitted a budget that explicitly rejects “austerity,” avoids any reform of Medicare or Social Security, and adds some $7 trillion to the national debt over the next ten years.

Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion Violates Federalism – Coerces States

Throw the bums out!
These clowns love this stuff. It has nothing to do with the right choices; it’s about the next election. They don’t give a damn about the country or it’s citizens. It’s about keeping their powerful jobs.

The Economy on the Brink: An Interview with Heritage’s Curtis Dubay
“I see a President who wants to punt these issues to his second term, assuming he gets one. No one knows what his plan is. I know what his plan is for Medicare—it’s to ration, through his Independent Payment Advisory Board, IPAB—which was passed as part of Obamacare—basically, restrict the amount of services that seniors can get through Medicare, and restrict how much the government will pay for the services that it does pay for.”

Medicare/Medicaid Fraud Shows Why the Ryan Roadmap Belongs in Debt-Limit Negotiations

Paul Ryan on Obamacare’s dictatorial rationing boards
Rep. Paul Ryan on why Medicare reforms that bring choice and competition to seniors would lower costs better than IPAB – a board of 15 unelected people with the power to deny seniors care. “What our concern is, is if we invest all of the power and the funding decisions with a board of 15 people – who’s decisions go into law and don’t even go through Congress – is that the best way to save this entitlement and restrain spending? We believe there’s a better way.”
