Repeal of ObamaCare Key to Ryan Budget Plan (Flashback 2011)

snip ...On Tuesday, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., released a budget blueprint that tackles the three big health care challenges facing the federal budget -- ObamaCare, Medicare and Medicaid - with a strategy of repeal, vouchers and block grants. Done properly, those steps would simultaneously improve health care and help balance the budget within a decade.

As it should, Ryan's budget would repeal ObamaCare. With a national debt roughly three-fourths the size of the entire economy, we simply cannot afford that law's two new entitlement programs or its trillion-dollar price tag.

Repeal would also relieve states of the law's staggering burdens. My colleague Jagadeesh Gokhale estimates ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion will cost New York $53 billion in its first 10 years. It will cost Florida, Illinois and Texas around $20 billion each....

The liberals are already saying that Ryan wants to thrown Granny off the cliff.

The liberals say Ryan wants to gut Medicare. Even though their man Obama is gutting Medicare financially, by diverting Medicare money to Obamacare, the liberals say that Ryan is the one who will do away with Medicare as we know it.

Good news. Obamacare would refuse to care for Gramma and Granpa..

Anytime the leftists bleat, “Paul Ryan wants to end Medicare”, he needs to punch back hard over Obamacare (and the massive middle class tax hike under Obamatax). Constantly stay on offense.
