◼ Democrats are out pushing another lie… This time that Republicans who voted for the Budget written by Paul Ryan in the House of Representatives supported the Medicare cuts in ObamaCare. - NRSC
Here's the truth: President Obama and Democrats who supported ObamaCare (like Mark Pryor, Kay Hagan, Mary Landrieu, and every other incumbent Democrat on the ballot in 2014) cut Medicare to help pay for it (they actually double counted). The Ryan budget used those savings (under current law) to help protect and preserve Medicare.
Democrats raided Medicare by more than $700 billion to help pay for ObamaCare. They repeatedly deceived voters about this fact (and continue to do so today). Taking funding from a crucial safety net program to pay for a massive government entitlement (ObamaCare) is nonsensical policy that not only jeopardizes the long term solvency of Medicare for those approaching their sixties, but worsens America's fiscal health by using blatant budget gimmicks to claim that the Affordable Care Act is actually Affordable.
