Take this coupon and add what is necessary to it from your
own pocket and at age 40-to 55 buy your own Health
Insurance. This is the group that will be hurt
the most and they have figured it out. The GAO
says they will need to add 6000 dollars out of pocket.
At this age, many illnesses start showing up. This
omcreases premium if you can qualify.

May I remind the Republicans--the older one becomes
the more expensive and less coverage is available.

Why do Insurance companies love to get young people
as clients? DUH!!!

Ryan keeps emphasizing the current Retirees are not
affected. Nothing changes for them.

They know that but the very idea of ending Medicare
as we know it broke trust. If they will do this with
no explanation, they will come back and cut present
retirees.

1. Yes, the current retirees know it, but who's going to get screwed first?
Their kids.

The Republicans want to dismantle something the elderly already know the benefit of and many rely upon, and give the shaft to their children (and later, their grandchildren). Is it any wonder we've seen so many older Americans clearly and irately skewering the Ryan plan?

2. the ones hurt the most will be their younger siblings
people 45-60 have no time to re-group, and how many of them have been pushed out of the workforce? :grr:

It's all so reminiscent of when people about to retire have the company sold out from under them, and their pension goes buh-byeee

3. Thought it would also harm those over 55 now
by increasing their drug costs and doing away with free annual wellness check ups.

But yeah the whole sell out your kids thing doesn't seem to be going over well thankfully.

This could all be cured with single payer.
