- If "Seniors, aged 65 and older, [who] tend to vote Republican, ... are concerned about what a 'President' Romney might do with Medicare" then they haven't been paying attention and/or have been influenced by lying liberals, because his plans would have NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER on the current and future benefits that those who are currently 65 and older are getting uncer Medicare.

- Go Obama/Biden2012. Mitt Romney does not have a chance. He is a flip flopper, Ryan lies, lies, lies. Can not explain his policies becuase it will take too much time? What kind of a candidate is that. Romney is for the rich .It shows with him and his wife Ann( You people?) How condesending!.His own wife is worried about his mental status ifhe happens to be the President. Dont worry Miss Ann, becuase he wont be the Pres.Sleep well at night.
Oh by the way what happened with his taxes for other years? Does America wants a president who does not want transparency and he is soppuse to run the country? Romney and Ryan are dangerous!. We seniors better re elect Pres Obama- he cares for everybody- not only the rich, poor, seniors,students,welfare people etc-He and Michell and Mrs Biden have a special place in their hearts for our military- God bless them., I guess Vice Pres Biden too.
GO Obama/Biden 2012!!! WE will win in Nov. - Reply to this comment

- Medicare in whatever form it takes will not be available to many that have paid into it since it's conception as well as monthly payments for part b from age 65 on. The problem that no one wants to address is the low payment to medical providers. Many are not accepting any new medicare patients or denyiny care to all medicare patients. This will get much worse! The Veterans Administration is already rationing meds and care for older patients. If the doctor prescribed med cannot be filled from generic stocks, the prescription has to be approved by a "crisis board", otherwise known as the death panel. Word has it that all care will be suspended at age 75, so I have a year left to live. no big deal for me, but what a mess to leave for my kids, grandkids and great grandkids.

- Perhaps if the government did not allow such insane tax breaks as $77,000 for a certain wealthy candidates horse we would still have some cash in the coffer. Thanks to thirty or so years of tax breaks for the wealthy and job killing free trade deals we have made a giant hole for our 99% to deal with. The others will merely go where they hid their money and enjoy the ocean or mountain views.

- There is very little point here. Obama has a medicare plan in Affordable care. You can agree or disagree on whether or not it will work but it is there. Mr. Ryan has apparently not informed Rometoo of what plan he is supposed to be pushing other than it has something to do with vouchers and a vague promise of those with less will get more in vouchers. And the health insurance companies will run it. As I get older I am unfortunately getting more familiar with health insurance, as in what is charged and what is paid. I see a "statement of benefits" where the hospital supposedly charged $7,000 for a cat scan of which the insurance paid a little less than a $1,000 and then the hospital goes "we'll take that and call it good" and I am supposed to be happy I don't owe $6,000 which admittedly I am. However what about the guy who needed a cat scan and DIDN'T have health insurance, is he expected to subsidize my insurance company to the tune of $6,000 apparently he is. I am left to wonder how much did the cat scan actually cost and why do the people who don't have health insurance being asked to subsidize those who do. It is time for a total reset on health costs and health insurance. Let us start out with what something actually cost and make sure everyone pays the same and please do not say "it is too complicated" hospitals and doctors have to know exactly how much anything cost from a tongue depressor to 10 minutes in a cat scan machine. Let us do something novel demand to know actual costs and why insurance companies are being subsidized by poor people (read the government ie tax payers) because that is what it comes down to.

- ROMNEY ALREADY LOST SUPPORT NOT ONLY FROM THE SENIOR CITIZENS BUT ALL AMERICANS AS WELL. HE INSISTS ON SUPPORTING HALF OF THE POPULATION, INCLUDING HIS "LOVED" RICH AND FAMOUS, EVADING TAXES BY HIDING HIS HUGE FORTUNE IN OVERSEAS ACCOUNTS, AND STICKING HIS FOOT IN HIS MOUTH EVERY TIME HE SPEAKS, HERE AND ABROAD. WHAT A POOR CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT!

- Bottomline, Romney is the poster-boy of the 1 percent. He is chiefly concerned about that segment's well-being and keeping their taxes low. Meantime, he will rip-off seniors, the poor, middle class and the rest of the 99 percent and force them to pay big-time taxes to finance his programs.
That is NOT the kind of leadership that our GREAT COUNTRY needs!
