>>I support protecting Medicare and Social Security. Ultimately, that means a transition toward a different funding arrangement

this is the same propaganda used by the right and Paul Ryan

Paul Ryan lies continually that medicare is going broke and that Obamacare contributed to "it's going broke"

This is a bald face lie... Obamacare extended the solvency of medicare.

SS is an easy fix just by raising the threshold of taxable income that is the cornerstone of it

the "different funding arrangement" you speak of is privatizing it and giving vouchers which basically screws people over

On the other hand, I do think there should be limitations, such as should a 70 year old alcoholic deserve a $400,000 liver transplant because he abused his body, that will give him just 6 more months to live?... should taxpayers have to pay for that?... not imo

Should severely obese people deserve to get taxpayers funded healthcare without some kind of penaty for their irresponsibility?... not imo

oops, death panels
