You make some good points here and I can't argue with you that Medicare reform looks like a giant loser right now, but our team is on record supporting it. All but 4 Republicans in the House voted for it, and I don't see how they run from that vote now.
Do you really think the Republican House members can escape their endorsement of Ryan's plan? I don't think so. It seems to me we may have to just stand our ground and fight over it. We are right, Medicare needs to be reformed. The public apparently isn't ready for it, but I don't think we can run and hide after overwhelmingly voting for the Medicare reform plan.
