Debbie Wasserman Schultz Versus Paul Ryan

Recently named as the chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, Wasserman Schultz has outwardly and publicly criticized the proposed Medicare changes announced by Republican Paul Ryan.

Ryan's plan wisely suggests Medicare is left alone until 2022, when it will consist of new beneficiaries being insured by private insurance companies instead of the federal government. This type of plan would be sold in a virtual marketplace and would still meet standards set by the U.S. Office Personnel Management. In addition, this new proposed plan would raise the Medicare age to 67, gradually and those who earn higher wages would get smaller premium support payment.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Interview Quotes On Medicare Reform

Debbie the WasserBeast has been quoted on Face the Nation as saying, "Like I said, the Republicans have a plan to end the Medicare as we know it. They would take the people who are younger than 55 years old today and tell them, 'You know what? You're on your own. Go and find private health insurance in ... the health care insurance market. We're going to throw you to the wolves and allow insurance companies to deny you coverage and drop you for pre-existing conditions. We're going to give you X amount of dollars, and you figure it out."

While Debbie Wasserman Schultz is absolutely free to criticize any proposed plan, it's her responsibility not to go overboard with her comments in a way that might put unnecessary fear into the minds of America's senior population. While her comments had some elements of potential truths in them, it was irresponsible of her to scare millions of Americans who are already worried about the future of America's Medicare system.
