2008-Republicans Endanger Seniors!
I am flying the Ft Moultrie flag. I do this when liberty is in jeopardy. Today (on a Saturday session to continue to “rush” the Health Care process) the Democrats killed an amendment to restore 42 billion dollars back to Medicare. Do you remember the 2008 campaign when Democrats were touting that Republicans would be dangerous to the welfare of Senior Citizens? They lied, it wasn’t the Republicans that were the threat, it was the Democrats! Here’s the proof!
Environmentalists are a Threat!
The Hill: Democrats held fast Saturday against another Republican attempt to restore funding for a Medicare program facing cuts in the Senate healthcare bill. During a rare weekend session, Senate Democrats blocked a GOP move to restore about $42 billion in funding for a home healthcare Medicare program. Democrats argued that the cuts wouldn’t affect Medicare patients’ quality of care and would make the home healthcare benefit stronger by forcing it to be more efficient.
Republicans have sought to portray the approximately $460 billion worth of Medicare cuts in the healthcare bill as evidence that the Democrats’ plans will put seniors’ healthcare at risk. “What will happen is that these programs will disappear because they’ll go in the red because of the cuts these Democrats are proposing,” said Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), the sponsor of the amendment that was rejected Saturday. On Thursday, Republicans offered an amendment blocking all proposed Medicare cuts, but it failed on a largely party-line vote.
Thank you Democrats for watching out for senior citizens!
The Bottom Line
I told you so!
How many Seniors voted Democrat in the last election?
Ignorance should hardly be an excuse of “seasoned” citizens.
Votes have consequences, here comes your payback!
