The CBO score of the GOP Medicare plan shows that elderly Americans would be responsible for 68% of their Medicare costs. Considering the low incomes of most people in WV over 65, this plan would prove catatrophic for the Mountain State.
Democrats, the GOP cannot overcome this issue as long as we hold the line. The recent congressional election in NY foreshadows a big swing for Democrats this coming election and for good reason. The GOP are unwilling to end tax breaks for millionaires but more than willing to pass the bill onto people that have worked their entire lives to make this country what it is. The American people will not stand for it.
We must find solutions to bring under control the nation's debt, but we can't do it on the backs of the elderly.
