"What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable."

Great column in The Week. Some important questions it raises:

• Do you really want to replace Medicare with vouchers for private insurance?

• Do you really want to lose guaranteed coverage – and pay more and more for less and less?

• Do you really want to exchange Medicare for a market that puts profits ahead of people?

• Do you really want to slash Medicaid so the sick are left without help in order to lavish tax cuts on the wealthy?

• Do you really want to let Republicans get their budget-cutting hands on your Social Security – because that’s the next target?

• Do you really want to let insurance companies cancel the coverage you paid for across the years once a loved one gets cancer or some other serious illness – and the bills mount up?


Unless you answered 'Yes' to all of these questions, you'll never fully understand what it is the House Republicans are fighting for.
