So much for small talk about Sesame Street. President Obama's campaign announced it'll highlight Mitt Romney's plan to cap and cut Medicaid, the much-ignored half-sibling of Medicare that serves the children, the poor, the elderly and the sick.
From the Obama camp: Mitt Romney raised nursing home fees eight times as governor. And as a presidential candidate, his proposed budget cuts Medicaid by one-third and threatens the well-being of families burdened by nursing home costs. President Obama won’t let that happen.“Only Choice” will air in New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada.
The Romney camp response: “The reality is that Medicaid is a broken system today that too often fails to provide meaningful access to care or deliver intended outcomes. Governor Romney’s proposal will continue to grow Medicaid spending each year while significantly slowing the trajectory that has placed the program on an unsustainable course. By giving states greater flexibility and the incentive to provide coverage more efficiently, Governor Romney will ensure that low-income Americans receive the care they need while also bringing federal spending back under control.” – Jeff Bechdel, Romney Spokesman
The dynamic duo of Romney and Ryan would drive the entire economy into a nose dive as long as it benefits the richest Americans. They'll even destroy our beloved Big Bird and anything government-funded which stands in the way of making the rich richer. Income inequality is endangering the Middle Class and making paupers of us all who don’t have those millions upon millions of dollars.
