If the Paul Ryan Budget passes, are Seniors ready for Medicare Vouchers?

Paul Ryan's budget is pulling the rug from under the elderly and gutting social services and health care for the poor and middle class, so the reason seniors support GOP is what again? You like losing your benefits and going bankrupt paying for medical bills? I guess that would make sense to a conservative, go figure.

Update:

@Obamaman: Medicare Vouchers, Privatizing SSI, Gutting the Education, Health care,social services budget, Seniors and elderly programs, student grants, medical research grants ALL WILL BE CUT. Blunt Bill, Personhood Bill, Vagina Probe Bill, end Planned Parenthood, ALL WILL BE PASSED. THE ONLY THING SAVED IN PAUL RYAN'S BUDGET IS TAX BREAKS AND SUBSIDIES FOR BIG CORPORATIONS.

    Seniors and the poor will get hurt really, really bad should this budget pass.

    The rich will be richer and the poor will get poorer.

    Wake up America.

    If we continue on our current path, Medicare will be bankrupt by the end of the decade. The GOP budget is an offering to change Medicare, so it can be saved for future generations. If Dems are concerned, they should try passing a budget of their own in the Senate. A Senate budget hasn't been passed in over 1000 days.

    Yes indeed, go figure... I posed a question, here in yahoo answers, a month or so ago... Asking if seniors understood.. Most politicians, consider Social Security, to be an entitlement... Not a one, would admit that, or agree with that statement... Simply amazes me, how people are so incredibly egger, to cut they're own nose off, to spite they're face...

    It guts America. There will be absolutely no funding for any protection. FAA? FDA? FIRST RESPONDERS? The list goes on...but wait oh there is no money to run America and protect citizens but there is always room in the deficit for tax cuts for Millionaires!

    No way....Gut the middle class to give those who have earn over a million a year tax cuts, because China needs more jobs?

    If the Supreme court rules Obama unconstitutional 500 billion Obama took from Medicare will return to Medicare and save old peoples lives! Ryan is the only responsible adult trying to SAVE Medicare for us younger people to have in the FUTURE!

    Obama was trying to destroy it! DAH!
