S 34: Ryan Budget Bill 2011

Status: House motion to proceed rejected

This bill would end Medicare as we know it, replacing it with a voucher system for seniors to buy health insurance coverage on the open market. Actuaries say the amount of the vouchers would not be enough for seniors to replace the coverage they would lose with the end of Medicare. [more]

Sen. Begich voted No, which we score as a pro-consumer vote.
