WASHINGTON – The Senate's top Republican accused Democrats of cutting Medicare to finance a "massive new government-run" health care plan, as the last of three House committees pushed its way through a compromise version of the health care overhaul Thursday.
"Some in Congress seem to be in such a rush to pass just any reform, rather than the right reform, that they're looking everywhere for the money to pay for it, even if it means sticking it to seniors with cuts to Medicare," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in the latest in a series of daily Senate speeches on health care.
McConnell's Republicans, unanimously opposed to Democratic-drafted legislation in the House, are watching warily while three members of their rank-and-file negotiate over a bipartisan plan in the Senate that could hand President Barack Obama a victory on his top domestic priority.

But Democrats want mandatory funding for abortions. Cut care for the greatest generation to fund abortions. This whole freaking mess is for about 2% of the population anyway, the overwhelming majority of Americans like their health insurance plan as is. it is primarily a way to ensure votes for democrats by providing insurance for the over 12 million illegals and their famalies.
The senior citizens in this country have given up quite enough already and should not be subjected to even more cuts to their healthcare plans.Even if they have excellent private coverage,they are pushed into the Medicare system when they become eligible and then find themselves struggling to pay out of pocket costs.
