Pat Roberts on Medicare
Last week:

"This bill slashes half a trillion dollars from Medicare...These cuts will hurt Medicare beneficiaries, our Kansas seniors who have worked their entire lives with the promise that this program would support them through their older age."

This week:

“I cannot believe anyone is seriously considering expanding Medicare to tens of millions of people aged 55 and over."

1. yeah...and...?
repugs don't consider 55-64 to be 'old age', so there's really no inconsistency, if that's what you were driving at.

5. Who takes care of his health care?
Could it be the government, like Medicare?
