Who needs a job when obama hands out foodstamps and healthcare for everyone?

Here's more health care news. Romney says he actually likes some of the features in Obamacare like parents being able to keep their kids on their insurance programs until age 26 and doing away with the preexisting conditions exclusions so loved by insurance companies. As time goes on you have to wonder how many other parts of it he will adopt. That should be no surprise since the same guy advised both him and the White House as to how to draw up such a health care plan.

In Florida, a critical state where older voters and workers approaching retirement hold sway, Obama on Sunday outlined a study by a Democratic leaning group that concluded that on average a man or woman retiring at age 65 in 2023, would have to pay $59,500 more for health care over the length of their retirement under Romney’s plan for overhauling Medicare.

The numbers are even higher for younger Americans who retire later, the study found. A person who qualifies for Medicare n 2030 - today’s 48-year-old - would see an increase of $124,600 in Medicare costs over their retirement period, according to the study.

While Romney’s changes to Medicare would affect future retirees, the study also said that Romney’s plan to get rid of Obama’s health care reform law could raise health care costs in retirement by $11,000 for the average person who is 65 years old today by reinstating limits on prescription drug coverage.

The study was conducted by David Cutler, a Harvard professor and health policy expert who served in the Clinton administration and was Obama’s top health care adviser during the 2008 presidential campaign. Cutler conducted the study for the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund.

Romney, endorsing a plan put forth by his vice presidential running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, wants to contain Medicare costs by giving retirees voucher-like government payments that they could use to either buy regular Medicare or private health insurance. But Cutler says older Americans would have to pay more out of pocket to cover the rising costs of health care.

Over your head?
It's a thread about jobs. Or lack of jobs and the refusal of obama to recognize it.

Gotta flood the internet with FALSE TALKING POINTS........

ghandi,

There is NO/none/nada voucher system for medicare in the Romney plan.

Anyone who says different is a fukking liar, period.

Mediacare Advantage doesn't use a voucher, does it? Romney wants to expand Medicare Advantage and use means testing. You know, make millionaires and billionaires pay more into the system. Isn't that about the FAIR SHAIR ISSUE? Where is the Obama plan???

OBAMA doesn't care, his family has the ULTIMATE HEALTHCARE PLAN for LIFE. OBAMA doesn't have to pay the penalty for the "rich" plan, taxpayers get to pay his penalty.......

He is truly one of the middle class........or should I say....he truly lets the middle class support his life-style.
