Angry Town Hall Voters greet Rep. Sean Duffy over Medicare.

Did you ever get the idea that despite all the anger expressed by town hall attendees about Paul Ryan’s Medicare voucher, Republican lawmakers seem nonplussed by the protests, never once giving an inch to compromise?

To Rep. Sean Duffy, free market competition will supposedly lower the price of health care, something that hasn’t happened yet in our current free market system.

In fact, today I drove by a laser eye center, what Republicans often sight as an example of lower prices through competition, and couldn’t help but wonder how the future would look; Can you imagine stopping by your friendly neighborhood “Heart Center and Liquor?” How about Diabetes Express? Or casually strolling through The Malanoma Store?

Rep. Sean Duffy can I’ll bet. Fox 21:

Tensions rose as Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy held an open town hall meeting in Superior on Monday. With several outbursts, the debate over Medicare took the spotlight. 

 Duffy, along with other Republican Representatives, are under attack for their support of a plan essentially eliminating the Medicare system. “When you have competition in the marketplace, prices do come down. Let's have that same impact on the delivery of health care,” Duffy said.

Hey, let’s go to the Cancer Outlet?

Protestors outside Monday’s meeting say they just want Congressman Duffy to leave Medicare alone.

“It’s a horrible policy. The most positive aspect that keeps seniors, like myself, out of impoverishment is Medicare and Social Security,” Frank Boyle, a protester, said.

“I'm worried about this voucher plan that they're proposing, that they'll give us a voucher, it's short on substance,” David Olson, of Superior, said.

Using the same Republican argument, the slippery slope after new laws are enacted, what future cuts…I mean, adjustments, will have to be made?

These citizens, along with many others, feel this plan could cost them in more ways than one. “I'm afraid that they're gonna start cutting here and it's gonna continue, continue, continue,” David Olson said.
