The Democratic Party is committed in protecting medicare and maintaining its solvency well into the future. That makes sense, since it was them that created Medicare back in 1965, with the support of Republican liberals and moderates. Today, there are no GOP liberals or moderates left in the House or Senate. Instead, you have extremist conservatives that have taken over the Republican Party and are intent on getting rid of Medicare. All you have to do is read Congressman Paul Ryan's Healtcare Proposal. He would give senior citizens around $15,000 in the form of a voucher for all their medical expenses and then they would have to shop around in the free market to buy private insurance. A person who is 85 and has a history of medical problems will find it impossible to find affordable insurance. It will be a nightmare for these people and would be at total injustice!!! Ryan was the GOP's point man and after finding out what this does, the leadership pulled the plug and will not allow it to get out of committee. The 2012 election is so important to the future of our country. Obama and the Democrats have been doing a great job in repairing the damage left by Bush and his cronies in 2008. We still have a lot more to do but its the Democrats that have proved to be the party of fiscal responsiblity and strong in foreign policy, like the killing of Osama Bin Laden!
