Political campaigns don’t send this type of mail to defend a
candidate unless the negative message is starting to work for their opponent.
As has been the major issue in PA Congressional District 12, this answer
addresses Medicare. As both sides are claiming that the other is really the one
that wants to destroy Medicare, Rothfus goes for the half-truth of the Paul
Ryan Medicare plan, that Rothfus supports, that wouldn’t affect any current
seniors. While this is true in essence, it is ignoring those that have paid
into for years and would be stuck fighting with high prices of profit through a
Medicare voucher system.
It is simple to me. The Republican’s plan, that Keith
Rothfus supports, will still be called
Medicare. It just will barely resemble
what we now call Medicare.
It is kind of like supporting ‘civil unions’ as long as we
don’t call it ‘gay marriage.’ It allows moderate Democrats to support gay
marriage initiatives (Yes, I am aware that civil unions don’t carry as much
weight as legal marriage.) as long as they can tell their God fearing
constituents that they don’t believe in ‘gay marriage.’
No we aren’t getting rid of Medicare! It will still be
called Medicare! Just now our rich buddies that run the insurance companies and
hold our current medical system hostage can continue to make decisions about
your care based on profit and price after you turn 65!
