Medicare. It's not Socialism if my Voters are Benefitting from It

The president's plan for senior citizens is Obamacare. We all think for our senior citizens that somehow Medicare is going to go on. And I think very likely -- and I'm speculating -- I think very likely what the president intends is that Medicare will go broke, and then ultimately that answer will be Obamacare for senior citizens.” - Jume 17, 2011


“They don’t want Obamacare; they want Medicare, and that’s why I am committed to making Medicare solvent.” - CNN


Not a gaffe, but a head scratcher.  Medicare functions as a government program (aka "Socialism") while the 2010 health-care law, which Bach Vader labels “Obamacare,” establishes private health-insurance exchanges in which participants can buy insurance (aka "Private Enterprise and Market Competition").  So ObamaCare is the good one right?  Wait no, Medicare is the socialism and Obama is free enterprise. . .but wait, no, I mean, Obama is a Socialist, so ObamaCare naturally. . .danggit, I thought this made sense at the time.


Tea Party folk - you're welcome to help us reduce spending by getting off our medicare system at any time
