Republicans Offer Medicare Manifesto

The Republicans have offered up something to appease seniors. Instead of offering to cut Medicare like they have done in years past, they want to oppose any moves to trim Medicare spending or limit end-of-life care to seniors.

The party has also declared to oppose any attempt to "insert the government between seniors and their doctors." Tell me, folks, who runs Medicare? The government. I don't understand where the Republicans think they are going with this one.

The Republican idea doesn't address problems or give other solutions to the health care insurance debate, like the problems of high costs, pre-existing condition clauses, ridiculous lawsuits, lack of doctors, etc. This just goes to show that nobody in Washington, Republicans included, has an idea of how to make progress.
