Just the other day Mitt Romney attempted to contrast and compare his plan for Medicare with the President's claiming that he "save Medicare" with "No Changes" while the President "Steals from Medicare" and causes it to go "Bankrupt".
Every Little Bit of that is wrong.
The Facts are simple -
Obama has:
o Reduce $716 Billion in wasteful spending to providers without cutting a single Benefit
o Increased Benefits including closing the Prescription Drug Donut Hole, and Free Preventive Screenings.
Resulting in:
0 Adding another 8 Years to the Life of the Medicare Trust Fund.
Romney Would:
o Repeal ObamaCare, removing the Prescription Drug Fix & increase Preventive Screening Costs.
o Covert Medicare (or part of it depending on which day of the week you ask them) into a Voucher System which would cost future seniors an additional $6,400 per year out of their own pockets.
o Keep the $716 Billion In Savings, only instead of using it to expand coverage and benefits, Romney would use it to provide tax cuts to Millionaires and Billionaires.
Resulting in:
o Medicare Going Bankrupt in 2016!
There it is, in a nutshell - this is what Romney has been trying to obscure with his false attacks on President Obama. Share this video with your Friends, and your Elderly Parents.
