Sheriff Nugent recently wrote an article on his facebook stating that he will defend Medicare and stated that Jason Sager believes Medicare is unconstitutional (which it is!) and implies that Sager will dismantle it. Below is the text of Nugent's blog.

Today is the 45th Anniversary of Medicare. Medicare was a landmark achievement that was dramatically improved on with the addition of Part D and Medicare Advantage. For the first time in Medicare, Seniors have real choice in both coverage and provider options. However, Medicare is under siege. My opponent says Medicare is unconstitutional. The Administration has cut Medicare programs to pay for the massive government expansion we know as Obamacare. As your Representative, I will fight to protect Medicare from those who would dismantle it and make Medicare stronger for those already on it.

There are several serious problems with Rich Nugent's stance on Medicare that immediately jumped out at me.

1. Deceptive tactics. He is being deceptive and flat out misrepresents Jason Sager's position. Nugent implies that Jason Sager is going to totally dismantle Medicare for all who are currently using it. This is not the case at all. Jason Sager mentioned in the Pasco County debate that he is in favor of Representative Paul Ryan's Roadmap for Medicare. That plan is one of the best ones out there for dealing with the current insolvency of Medicare while at the same time providing funding for people that will need Medical coverage.

The intent of Medicare is not necessarily that wrong, but the execution of it is a disaster. Government employees do not care if it is efficient.

On a cruise in Australia, we met a couple on one of the journeys that had made a fortune off of Medicare. They were selling those motorized wheel chairs you see on TV to Medicare recipients for over 4 times the actual cost.

No health insurance company would let that happen but I guess it took them 3 or 4 years just to catch on to that. In this case it really isn't fraud, but incompetence.
