Can someone explain why the Republican proposal to make Medicare renewable annually isn't the same as putting a gun to their own head

I don't get how they can just sunset it without a plan ready to go. We saw they had NO PLAN if ACA is disbanded. - St. Epiphany Oct 19, 10:09 1
- if they create a crisis, then they can say "the gov't doesn't work (obviously!), we need corporations to do this" - colin Oct 19, 10:20
Paul Ryan wanted to gut it since Obama's first term. the cruelty is the point -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 19, 09:42 4
- it's more making government not work so they can say government does not work. cruelty isn't really part of it.. it's just greed. - colin Oct 19, 10:21 2
  - disagreed. same as banning abortion. -- nm* - Spawn Oct 19, 11:08
  - for the money men, this has always been true. but it's MTG and Stephen Miller's party now. if the Koch Bros also get to pay zero taxes, as a treat - hollywood big shot Oct 19, 10:35
- (dismantling anything New Deal or adjacent has been the GOP's goal since FDR and LBJ, their constituents notwithstanding) -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 19, 09:50
