Wendell Potter: When Medicare Isn't Medicare

[CarmanK]

8. That's just not true. The Republicans are deliberately and with Malice Obstructing hlt care reform

and SS adjustments that would secure both systems of delivery. SS just needs a simple, raising of the WAGES that need to be taxed in order to secure SS into the future. To say otherwise is a lie. It is a SIMPLE SOLUTION to a financial problem. As far as Medicare goes, National health care delivery can be effectively implemented had the repugs not obstructed the system. Medicare cannot negotiate with PHARMA for meds, which is rediculous and contrary to the FREE MARKET principles which the repugs advocate. COMPETITION is good for every one but BIG OIL< PHARMA< AGRI< WALL STREET hustlers and of course MURDOGS AND KOCHROACHES> Ryan's plan for medicare does not strengthen it nor does it prolong its life. It denegrates, shrinks services, shrinks subsidies and shrinks access. It is the OLD republican solution to everything, IF WE CAN SHRINK IT, WE CAN KILL IT.
