Kaiser study: Romney/Ryan privatized Medicare would cost 6 out of 10

. . . the federal government's. If it's good enough for them . . . The NYT said Ryan has the same plan for Medicare as federal employees enjoy (published 04/18/2011). Also, Ryan wrote this: "Starting in 2022, new Medicare beneficiaries will be enrolled in the same kind of health care program that members of Congress enjoy." His op-ed about this was published in the WSJ. Sounds good to me! ...

"When economists and policymakers worry about the long-term fiscal crisis, what they’re mostly worried about is Medicare. That’s why a persistent idea during this fiscal cliff season is raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67. It’s an idea that appears superficially to have many virtues. Bringing the Medicare retirement age into line with the Social Security retirement age seems logical. The change is simple to describe to journalists and the public." & ...

A Princeton professor said the Obama campaign is misrepresenting his work in a campaign email it sent out, the Weekly Standard reported, and that Mitt Romney’s tax plan does not require raising taxes on the lower and middle class. The Obama campaign email said Romney’s tax plan would force him to raise taxes on the middle class and increase the deficit. "Even the studies that Romney has cited to claim his plan adds up still show he would need to raise middle-class taxes," the Obam ...

Romney believes 47% of US citizens are moochers. Ryan believes only 30% are moochers. Do you think they will just split the difference? At least we know what they truly believe--not just what they say to their followers. ...

...after the election?? If this is true, who on earth would vote that blindly for a Romney administration? Please tell me this is not true, and where can I read all the features of the tax plan that Romney would like to institute? Thanks in advance! ...

President Clinton alone gave enough numbers and specifics to provide quotes for almost any discussion that comes up. Obviously there was more than just his famous verbosity behind his hitting every single point of the GOP promises and every single point of the Dems' during his long speech. My big question is, when Governor Romney says he'll provide "lots of jobs," is he just keeping it and the rest of his plan simple for the unenquiring mind, or is he that determined not to reveal wha ...

Pew Study Finds MSNBC the Most Opinionated Cable News Channel By Far If you’re like most cable news viewers, you probably think the channel you favor has a monopoly on the facts and the other ones are nothing more than a bunch of ranting. In fact, which cable network is the most opinionated is not a matter of opinion. It’s MSNBC. A full 85% of the Comcast-owned network’s coverage can be classified as opinion or commentary rather than straight news, according to the authors of the ...

This study was released yesterday and oh yes, there are graphs. Of the reasons why people have changed their minds, they were as follows: 32% said they knew someone who was homosexual. 25% said they got older and more open-minded/grew up/had more time to think about it. 18% said it's inevitable/the world is changing. 18% said everyone is free to choose love & happiness/government should stay out of it. 8% said because they believe in equal rights. 5% said because of moral ...

By Agence France-PresseMonday, June 7th, 2010 -- 11:00 am Having an "out of wedlock child" was enough to remove a black juror from a 1998 Mississippi murder trial involving an African-American and a white victim. Since then, nothing much has changed in the old south, a newly released study has said. When it was all over, Alvin Robinson was found guilty by a jury of 10 whites and two blacks, and sentenced to 20 years behind bars for a murder he claimed was in self defense. Two years later, an ...

I love the way this adninistration has tunnel vision where people are concerned. They don't give a rat's patootie if people lose their jobs. They only want to kill fossil fuel and IT'S A KNOWN FACT that the U.S. has done MORE to eliminate carbon from the earth than every 3rd world country, plus Russia with China being the #1 polluter. Don't you think they should at least take a look at the statistics? This institute has been studying this subject since at least 2011. ...

Excellent research by a fine institution! From a total of 44 U.S. Presidents, Obama has been rated as the 5th best, according to a study recently completed at The University of Michigan. The Public Relations Office at UofM released this statement: "After almost eight years in office, American academics have rated President Obama the 5th Best President in American History." These are the results according to UofM: 1. Lincoln, Reagan, and Truman tied for first place ...

Food Stamp Recipients More Likely To Be Obese, Study FindsWASHINGTON -- Food stamp recipients are more likely to be obese than the general population, according to new research from the federal government. Most Americans are heavier than they should be, of course, but a U.S. Department of Agriculture study delving into National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2007 through 2010 found Americans on food stamps were more likely to be obese than other groups -- including ...

As for specifics regarding sources for purchasing guns, some of the inmates indicated that gangs have individuals with a Firearm Owners Identification Card who buy guns then sell them to gang members. Others indicated using “corrupt cops” who seize guns then “put them back on the street.” The inmates made clear they do not walk into gun stores to buy guns. Which proves a point Breitbart News, Gun Owners of America, and other gun rights groups have made for years; namely, that backgro ...

Needs more research, but interesting. I'm not sure it always has to be so "either/or", though - I can accept evolution ad fact, but also believe in God was the master scientist of that experiment. I can also know I'm in love but have no way to scientifically prove that to anyone other than deed. In fact, love lights up on SPECT scan images like chocolate or prayer. However, I have always believed that before you can accept others' smoking-gun evidence as fact, politica ...

January 8, 2015: As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear a case that could prove to be a fatal blow against the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, a new study has concluded that the consequences of striking down the law's subsidies for low- and middle-income individuals will result in a sharp drop in the number of Americans with health insurance, as well as a steep rise in premiums.

I have only catastrophic insurance and have to pay for everything out of pocket. For months my arm has been bothering me. Can't move it out to the side or front (can't even do a full heil hitler salute (LOL). It just won't move and I get pains in the infraspinatus muscle and then shooting pains down the outside of the arms. It doesn't bother me all day, but if I jerk my arm fast, or bump it I get the pains down my arm. Can't lift my arm up o ...

Obamacare Medical Device Tax: As of Jan.1, Obamacare imposes a new tax of 2.3 percent on medical device manufacturers, including those who make dental braces. The tax is imposed on gross sales -- even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. While the tax will be paid to the IRS by the manufacturer, the tax will be passed along as a higher cost of the product, ultimately to be borne by the parent buying the braces for their child. With the cost of braces being as high as $7,625 ...
