finding the kind of jobs that have health insurance attached to them. Trust me, they're starting to be aware of what the destruction of Medicare will mean to them as they age and no one will sell them insurance at any price, not even if they win the lottery.

Letting them know just how miserly those $6000 vouchers are when it comes to paying an actual insurance premium for someone under 65 is and letting them know insurance is simply not available to people over 65 (why we got Medicare in the first place) might do the trick on convincing them why it's a very good idea to shoot the GOP down and keep a system that works.

Romney and his sidekick, the Enzyte Guy, are absolutely wrong on this. They're wrong on nearly everything else, but they're especially wrong on health care.
