Paul Ryan Booed By AARP Crowd For Promising To Repeal ‘Obamacare’

Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)was not well received at a gathering held by the American Association of Retired Peoples on Friday. After Ryan said the first step to strengthening Medicare is to repeal President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, the crowd erupted into boos.

After promising to repeal “Obamacare,” the crowd jeered. “I had a feeling there would be mixed reactions,” said Ryan amid the chorus of booing.

“It weakens Medicare for today’s seniors and puts it at risk for the next generation,” said Ryan to more booing.

“You may not have heard this side of the story,” said Ryan, after detailing the Medicare funds stripped in order to fund the ACA. “The law turned Medicare into a piggybank for Obamacare.”

“You don’t have to take my word for it,” Ryan said. “Ask the chief actuary for the center for Medicare and Medicaid services.”

Just send the postage paid envelope back EMPTY or with a note inside for them to quit harrassing you. Make them pay for the postage.

This is a true story. My wife and I were guardians of her aunt for about 10 years. Near the end of her life, she had a stroke. After 3 days in the hospital, the "Medicare Doctor" said she had to leave because Medicare would not pay anymore. She was unconscious!!!! We had to move her to a nursing home

Shredding is even better, especially if it has your name on it

“Screw Our Grandkids! We Want It All, And We Want It Now!”

IMO, most of them aren't. They're just hold-over Dems from another era and truly do not realize that the Ass Party today is wholly communist. My grandmother (may she RIP) was raised by German/Irish Democrat precinct folks. You couldn't tell her anything contrary to what she "knew." She literally thought her social security money was in a little box somewhere, and that Reagan & the evil Repubs were stealing out of it. Nevermind that she was a federal employee prior to when they actually paid into SS.... Oh, I could go on and on.
