I don't know why they voted on it. Did they not realize the vote to "end Medicare as you know it" will be campaign commercial fodder? This is a big deal and I mean really big. Passage of that bill could even cause the GOP to loose the house and loose seats in the Senate next year. If there was no chance of it becoming law then smart politics to me means don't even bother voting on it.

I'm trying to figure out why Ron Paul voted no to it?!!

He's only the guy wanting to get rid of the dep't of everything.

Paul Ryan reminds me of a young Arlen Specter during the McCarthy-era and then thru the whole "magic bullet" period in history. Just a young guy trying to make a name for himself by doing something gutsy.

Just last week Ryan even said, "This would be giving the Democrats ammunition against us next year".

Why did Ron Paul vote against it is the first thing I'd like someone to explain to me, the second thing I'd like to know is how the whole voucher thing would work. So the gov't would subsidise a coupon, and I'd use the coupon to pay for a health care plan. When the private insurer then keeps jacking me up, does the coupon's value go up with the price of health care or no?
