The deadly new GOP plan to rapidly privatize Medicare.

I want to invest in a scam that lets you make billions with virtually no risk.

If you're morbidly rich, all you have to do is open or buy an insurance company that's offering

Medicare Advantage plans and now Republicans are saying that if they retake the

White House they will change the Medicare rules so that people nearly turning

65 will enroll by default into Medicare advantage

rather than real traditional Medicare.

Further enhancing the profits of these massive billion dollar insurance giants

while rapidly killing off real Medicare.

This is the culmination of a long-term plan.

George W Bush ran for both Congress and 79 in the White House promising to privatize Social Security

and Medicare.

In 2005, he tried mightily to privatize Social Security, scheduling a multi-city tour across America to promote the idea.

He had political capital from winning the 2004 election based on his war president credential

and he said he was going to use it. The more he pitched the idea,

the more he pitched private private social security plans however, the more people disliked

the idea. Bush gave up halfway through his tour, but not to mourn. He'd already

taken a tire iron to Medicare in 2003, getting half the privatization job done by

creating the Medicare Advantage scam.

It was one of the greatest testimonials to the power of lobbying and political bribery in modern

American history.

The amazing part is that Medicare Advantage is not Medicare.
