4. Paul Ryan’s plan would end Medicare as we know it
Paul Ryan’s extreme budget would end
Medicare as we know it, turning it into a voucher program which would
increase seniors’ health costs by $6,350 a year. Ryan has also proposed a
plan that would have privatized Social Security, subjecting seniors’
retirement security to the whims of the stock market.
5. Paul Ryan is severely right-wing
a. Paul Ryan would take us backward on women’s health:
Ryan
cosponsored a bill that could ban in-vitro fertilization, as well as
many common forms of birth control, including the pill. It could also
ban all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest. He supported letting
states prosecute women who have abortions and doctors who perform them.
b. Paul Ryan would take us backward on equal rights:
Ryan voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which helps women fight for equal pay for equal work. He voted against repealing the discriminatory policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and supports writing discrimination into the Constitution by amending it to ban gay marriage.
