Doheny Says Owens ‘Like Night And Day’

Why Doheny is Wrong on Medicare:

Congressman Owens Attacks Doheny on Medicare, where on Rep. Owens site he sets record straight, concerning Doheny’s spin on Medicare.

Congressman Owens says:

“My opponent wants to turn Medicare into subsidized private insurance. Paul Ryan and Matt Doheny have their priorities wrong – we need to strengthen Medicare and reduce costs to ensure better outcomes,”

Owens continues:

The release issued by Owens for Congress follows:
“In the incorrectly titled “Bipartisan Ideas on Preserving Medicare,” Doheny advocates for the purchase of private plans with Medicare dollars, but “in all instances, the federal government should pay insurers directly.” He goes on to say “This is not a voucher program,” in reference to Paul Ryan’s plan to force Medicare beneficiaries to purchase private health insurance with a voucher.

In summary Owens says:

“He’s saying it’s not a voucher program,” said Congressman Bill Owens. “But it’s a distinction without a difference. The government can give a senior a voucher to buy insurance on the private market, or it can pay the private insurer directly. Either way, it’s privatization and it ends the Medicare guarantee.”

The great playwright Harold Pinter gave us ‘Theatre of the Absurd’ and when I listen to Republicans speak I feel he’s writing their spin..
