5 myths Paul Ryan told seniors about Medicare in Florida today:
Ryan Touts Medicare Program He Wants To End At Florida Rally.
Paul Ryan doubled down on the GOP’s strategy of staying on offense against criticisms of his plan to partially privatize the Medicare program for future retirees and defended the proposal during an appearance with his 78-year-old mother in The Villages, Florida Saturday morning.
Without explaining how the program would change for the next generation, Ryan rallied the mostly 55-and-older crowd by pledging to protect the existing government-run program that his plan would radically restructure and criticizing President Obama for cutting $716 billion out of Medicare. The House Budget Committee Chairman and most House Republicans actually voted to preserve the $716 billion in savings in the GOP budget, though Romney and Ryan promised to restore the cuts to Medicare earlier this week.
