8. As I understand it, Ryan's Medicare plan would limit annual Medicare benefits

for a Medicare recipient.

In my mother's case, she used almost no Medicare benefits in her first 20 some years after reaching Medicare age -- and then she ended up in the hospital for a stay. Since then, she has had lots of medical costs.

The Ryan plan would be a death certificate for many seniors. Just as sure as simply poisoning them or shooting them -- certain death.

It's absolutely a horrible idea.
