True Love: John Koster and Paul Ryan’s Plan to End Medicare

Extreme Republican candidate John Koster expressed his love for Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan and his controversial budget which essentially ends Medicare and forces seniors to pay $6,400 more per year in order to give tax breaks to millionaires and outsourcing companies. At a fundraiser last month, Koster discussed Ryan saying, “I love this guy, I love his message.”

“Of course it’s love at first sight between extreme John Koster and Paul Ryan’s plan to end Medicare and force seniors to pay more for health care in order to fund tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs overseas,” said Stephen Carter of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.  “Whether it’s privatizing Social Security, ending Medicare, or opposing abortion even in cases of rape or incest, John Koster is just too extreme for Washington seniors and middle class.
