Fear Health Care Law More Than Ryan's Medicare Reform Plan
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Democrats hope to make inroads in the senior vote by raising concerns about Mitt Romney running mate Paul Ryan's Medicare reform proposal, but most seniors are more fearful of President Obama's health care law than they are of Ryan's plan.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that when it comes to the future of Medicare, 47% of Likely U.S. Voters are scared more of the health care law than of Ryan's proposal. Forty-one percent (41%) are more scared of what Ryan has proposed. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here .)
