The Ryan Budget in Sheep’s Clothing?

"For the past four years, Rep. Ryan has set forth budgets that get approximately two-thirds of their cuts from programs that help low- and moderate-income families. His most recent iteration, released in April 2014, would turn Medicare into a voucher, cause more than 40 million people to lose their health care coverage, kick up to 10 million people off of nutrition assistance, and starve the part of the budget that funds education, child care, the Head Start program, worker training, and housing. These savings would go toward financing new tax cuts primarily for millionaires and large corporations."

"But as important as many seniors and their families think Medicare is to their well-being and family financial solvency, the greater threat to their well-being might well be Rep. Ryan’s Medicaid proposal. Medicaid is sometimes thought of as medical assistance for the poor, but about two-thirds of the money in the program goes to elderly and disabled Americans."
