Limbaugh said it could be cheaper to buy private Medicare Ins.

These people are trying to get everyone they can to buy into this bullshit just like they did when they wanted people to buy into privatizing social security. It they get enough people out of these plans then the plans will die through non support. The repug governors are doing the same in their states with the public employees pension. They put new employees in another plan so the current pension will slowly be under funded. Then they can reduce an already retired employee`s monthly pension because they cannot pay for it anymore. All the money for medicare and pensions will be in the hands of their big companies which will control the price of everything. The rich and the cons will finally control all the money and the people.

1. Really? Then I guess Limballs should price it out for his dittoheads. Wonder

how much a good policy would cost for a pre-diabetic with past drug addiction?

2. No it wouldn't. Ryan's asshole plan would tie vouchers to inflation

and health care costs historically and inevitably rise far faster than general inflation.

3. He's right. Private Medicare could be cheaper.

But, it would also would likely be pretty much worthless--a lot like many of these high-deductible health insurance policies available to those of us who are too young for Medicare. You know the kind of which I speak. It's so crappy, you might as well not have it, because the deductible is so high, you'll never meet it with minor stuff. And, if you get something catastrophic, like cancer, they'll find a way not to pay your bills, and you'll go bankrupt anyway.

4. There's no way to spin a $6,000 voucher for a $12,000 policy.

5. Limpballs is a fucking idiot.

He lies every time he opens his big ugly trap.

6. Yes, because adding corporate profits to the equation always means lower costs.
