You do realize that the old folks on medicare paid into this their entire lives. We are not talking about bums here. We are talking about Medicare recipients who contributed to a flawed system for 50 years.

Paul made a wise choice in the short run because many of these Medicare recipients will vote R in primary and in the general.

Here is the first thing that should be fixed. Medicare should be separated from Social Security. Why is Medicare mandatory?"

I think crashing the Medicare system would only create another opportunity for the MSM to bash the GOP as evil people who want to screw old people. It's hard enough to find a doc who will even take medicare patients around here.

Sure, the program is fundamentally flawed, and needs major rework. That takes work, not just posturing.

Has Dr. Cruz put out his Obamacare replacement yet? I must have missed it. His Medicare replacement? His Medicaid elimination bill?
