Today's Heritage Scorecard: Does House GOP Support Ending Medicare As We Know It?
This week, Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price failed to present a promised budget to the Republican Conference. But luckily for the House GOP, the Heritage Foundation has already provided rudderless Republican leaders with a budget blueprint. Now, as House Republicans race against the clock to pack these extreme, Heritage-backed ideas into their own supposedly forthcoming budget resolution, here's a time-saver: House Republicans can score themselves on the Heritage Budget by answering some simple questions.
Question: Do House Republicans support ending Medicare as we know it – turning it into a voucher program – like the Heritage Budget does and like the GOP has in the past?
Yes. I, House Republican, support the Heritage Foundation's plan to end Medicare as we know it.No. I stand with House Democrats who are fighting to protect Medicare.
No. I stand with House Democrats who are fighting to protect Medicare.
House Republicans: if you answered YESto the question of whether you support ending Medicare as we know it and turning it into a voucher program, you're safe with the Heritage Foundation. But you can trust that the American people will score you differently.
