In regards to NY-26:

From what I have read, the Republican in the race lost support after she voiced support for Ryan's plan. Voters did not desire a return to dealing with insurance companies versus dealing with Medicare, but current Medicare recipients either did not understand or know that Ryan's plan does not remove those currently on Medicare.

Then there was a Dem running as a Tea Party candidate that took away 9 percent.

I hope this formula is not successfully used around the country. At the current time, it seems a little reminiscent of the SS reforms that did not get substantial Republican Congressional support.

What is really driving me crazy is that NO substantial reform of these entrenched programs is going to go anywhere until we all decide as a country that we are not going to get all of those free bennies that FDR and LBJ promised Americans a long time ago.
