Your Medicare Phase Out Checklist

November 16, 2016
House Speaker Paul Ryan proposed to privatize the current Medicare system, within the earliest days of the impending Trump administration.

As Members of Congress hastily hash out their opinions and post their announcements, TPM will track what they’re saying, charting whether candidates favor, oppose or release a foggy statement on the privatization and dismantling of Medicare.

Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), chair of the House Budget Committee, said he expects Republicans to take on Medicare reforms "six to eight months" into the Trump administration.

The list will be updated as members of Congress release their opinions or figure out how they really feel about Ryan’s proposal.

This list would not be possible without help from the TPM Readers who contacted their representatives and senators in response to Josh's original post about Ryan's stance on Medicare.

YEP, PHASE THAT BABY OUT! (pro-Medicare Phase Out members of Congress)
