The closest thing to a government subsidized system via private insurers (Medicare Advantage) I believe has RAISED costs 8%.

Spence, I asked you what Obama/Biden have offered as a solution to Medicare. In true liberal fashion, instead of answering my question, you choose to insult Ryan.
Is Ryan's plan the best possible solution to save Medicare? Maybe not. But as of today (as JohnR said), he is the only elected official in Washington (that I know of) who had the intellectual honesty to say out loud that Medicare is broke and needs fixing.
In response, all Obama has done is insult Ryan. And you are doing the same.
Jim in CT: Spence, what is the Democratic plan to save Medicare
Spence: Ryan's plan is not serious.
See what I mean, Spence? You didn't answer the question I asked. I didn't ask you what you thought of Ryan's plan (because everyone on Earth knows what you think of it). I asked you what your party's plan is...and your party has no plan. All they can do, all you can do, is insult.
Do you never, ever get tired of that?
