$80 billion dollar reduction to Medicaid at exactly the time our population is aging and the vast majority do not have the savings for long-term care. How does that make sense? Where are all these elderly people going to go if the Medicaid dollars are not there to pay for their care? And for god's sake, please do not give the canned GOP response of "their families can take care of them." You are correct that the government will be running healthcare because single payer is inevitable. And, yes, Paul Ryan has been talking about cuts to and privatization of Medicare for years.
