Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Medicare/Medicaid insurance saves lives. So does Social Security. Where do you place SAVING LIVES on your list of essential things? Why?
Paul Ryan's goal is to drastically reduce all social welfare programs. Reduce and reduce them and cap them and reconfigure them and adjust them and weaken them. He is as giddy as a school girl who has just been asked out on a date by the guy she has a crush on. Ryan's giddiness and joy is all squirrly giggly girly at the possibility of crippling social welfare programs and I think it is shameful. Even some Republican Senators and House members want to preserve Medicaid because their constituents rely on it to stay alive.Thank you for your reply m2c . Even Trump isn't that squirrly giggly giddy girly over the prospect.

And President Trump has said he will not take away either program. No House member who doesn't want to retire is gonna vote to take SS or Medicare. They are gonna put Medicaid back in control of the states. Federal is gonna quit paying for the extension soon anyway so they would be making changes anyway.
You know EVERY year the Dem run on this kind of scare tactic. In my state I even seen commercials claiming black churches would burn if the Republican was elected.....This was during the Bush/Gore election. Scare tactics.... Don't let them scare you Rosie. I know you watch alot of news.... But you should make a point to watch more than just MSNBC. Watch some Fox, CNN, and some C-SPAN. And you will be able to see the truth in the middle.
i think it saves lives too but ive had surgery without any of that or any kind of insurance and i still managed to get it, theres other programs out there
