Ryan: It's "irrefutable" that President Obama is damaging Medicare

Paul Ryan doubled down on Romney campaign attacks on President Obama’s handling of Medicare, saying Tuesday it was “irrefutable” that the president was “damaging Medicare for current seniors” in his first solo interview since being named the GOP’s vice presidential nominee. …

“We’re the ones who are not raiding Medicare to pay for ObamaCare. We’re the ones who are repealing President Obama’s 15-person bureaucratic board that will put price controls on Medicare that will lead to denied care for current seniors. We’re the ones continuing the guarantee of Medicare for people in or near retirement,” the Wisconsin congressman told Fox News.

“And you have to reform it for the younger generation in order to make the commitment stick for the current generation,” he continued. “President Obama is actually damaging Medicare for current seniors. It’s irrefutable. And that’s why I think this is a debate we want to have, and that’s a debate we’re going to win.”
