Obama and Medicare

I'm going to make this a simple blog. Considering all the heat brought out by the debate on Medicare, there hasn't been much light. Here goes.

The system is broke. Nobody denies this. The Democrats, who controlled all three branches of the government from 2009 to 2011, failed to do anything about this fact. The Democratic Senate has failed to even come up with a budget for the past three years. Wow, talk about a failure to lead.

So Romney and Ryan have a plan. If you are over 55, Medicare stays the same. If you are under 55, you can keep the current system or take a voucher from the government and shop it for insurance from private companies. Since companies will compete, the price will drop.

Democrats talk choice a great deal. Well, this time it's the Republicans who offer choice.
