“Figuring out how to rescind now established government benefits, especially expanded Medicaid”

Ryan caps the expansion of medicaid. He doesn’t rescind established benefits.

Opposition to the Ryan plan can be divided in two camps:

1- Pure libertarians who want to repeal Medicaid (Ryan repeals the Obamacare mandate/taxes and only caps the expansion of Medicaid)

2- People like you who receive Medicaid subsidies and don’t want to see them cut.

Ryan doesn’t cut benefits. Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Levin, Beck, etc want to slash all benefits now.

For them the choices are slash all benefits now or keep Obamacare as is until it “implodes”.

But the “implosion” that they are expecting won’t be reported on TV. It will be millions of people dying quietly and prematurely because of healthcare costs.

Repeal what’s possible now and live to fight another day.

Ryan caps Medicaid. Yeah, at unsustainable levels. Oh, joy.
