Almost three-fifths of the U.S. public opposes Republican plans to change Medicare, a poll indicated Wednesday.

The CNN/Opinion Research survey found 58 percent of those polled do not like the Republican proposal, while 35 percent support it. The plan put forward by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., would shift Medicare to a system of vouchers for private health insurance although it would not affect anyone who turns 65 in the next decade.

CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said opposition to the Ryan plan cuts across party and demographic lines, with 54 percent of self-described conservatives saying they do not like it.

The poll also found more than half of U.S. residents believe the Republicans should cooperate more with President Barack Obama.

3. wait until the other 2/5's find out what private insurance

will cost 20 years from now, when they are 75. The voucher might cover, what, maybe 25% of that.

The people that are for this clearly are very rich or haven't thought it through.

8. I agree with Rachel Maddow

the plan seems to be to force Dems on board to some part of this plan and then kill it as an issue because both sides to did it. Dems and Obama are stupid if they even pretend to put Medicare on the table.

calling it a murder plan.

Rethugs - becareful what you wish for!
