Is Paul Ryan’s years-long dream of gutting Medicare about to come true?<\/p>\n

With Republicans set to control both houses of Congress and the White House, Ryan (R-Wis.), who will serve another term as House speaker, “senses his moment,” as Salon<\/em> observes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Donald Trump transition website states that the administration will “modernize Medicare”\u2014a euphemism, according to Jonathan Cohn and Jeffrey Young at the Huffington Post<\/em>, that corresponds exactly to what Ryan has in mind.<\/p>\n

Speaking Thursday on Fox News<\/em>‘s “Special Report,” Ryan said, “Medicare is going broke, Medicare is going to have price controls because of Obamacare,” adding, “You have to deal with those issues if you are going to repeal and replace Obamacare. Medicare has serious problems [because of] Obamacare.”<\/p>\n

Those statements are false, Michael Hiltzik writes at the Los Angeles Times<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Simply put, economist Dean Baker writes, Ryan’s plan “will require seniors to deal with insurance companies who will profit by denying them care.”<\/p>\n

“Ryan’s plan,” Gary Legum adds at Salon<\/em>,<\/p>\n

Josh Marshall adds at TPM<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Given the likely threat to the broadly supported program, Jeet Heer argues at New Republic<\/em> that Democrats should mount “a pre-emptive attack on the Ryan Plan” with “Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Keith Ellison” at the helm of an organizing committee.<\/p>\n

He adds:<\/p>\n

Baker similarly argues it should be used as a “pressure point” and that “[w]e have to do our best to make everyone know that this is the Republican agenda.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
