Defeat Obamacare first, then draft a blue-print plan to phase-out Medicare and Medicaid. Yes, these programs should be phased-out and not “saved.”

Defeating Obamacare is possible...with a little luck and a lot of hard work.

But drafting a blue-print plan to phase out Medicare and Medicaid...good luck with that. IMO, conservatives would be better off taking a stealthy approach to cutting these programs (and Social Security, as well). First step...means testing for Medicare and Social Security. Nobody likes those rich folks...so start by cutting them off the roles. Then establish a co-pay. Step it down...little by little. All or nothing thinking will not serve conservatives well here.
