New GOP plan: Just destroy Medicare; Coming off their failed attempt to slash Medicaid, Republicans set their sights on Medicare in hopes of passing big tax cuts.

The House blueprint faces many political hurdles, in part because the math doesn’t really add up. The Associated Press uses unusually blunt language to describe the budget proposal: “The plan, in theory at least, promises to balance the budget through unprecedented and unworkable cuts across the budget.”

The GOP’s desire to target Medicare just after its doomed attempt to reduce Medicaid via the repeal of Obamacare is telling.

In the end, the Republicans’ failed repeal came down to a debate about Medicaid and whether the party was willing to drastically reduce federal health care spending that had been expanded to help states pay for tens of millions of Americans to get access to health care coverage, including some red states governed by Republicans.

Medicare is not Medicaid...People have paid all their lives into medicare and continue to pay after collecting benefits.....Medicaid gives benefits to pet hamsters who didn't pay at any time or now.....That is why we can't afford medicaid or Obamacare without raping taxpayers.............. :booboo:
