"Victims. Dependent. That's what Mitt Romney called forty-seven percent of Americans. Including people on Medicare. But what about his plan for you? Romney would replace guaranteed benefits with a voucher system. Seniors could pay six thousand dollars more a year. A plan AARP says would undermine Medicare. You're no victim...you earned your benefits. Don't let Mitt Romney take them away."

"It's one of the hardest decisions a family can make ...realizing a nursing home is the only choice. For many middle class families, Medicaid is the only way to afford the care. But as a governor, Mitt Romney raised nursing home fees eight times. And as President, his budget cuts Medicaid by one-third. And Burdens families with the cost of nursing home care. We have a president who won't let that happen."

President Obama in Fairfax,Virginia on October 5th, 2012

"My opponent has a different view. The other night, he said he would repeal Obamacare as soon as he took office.

[Crowd boos] don't boo -- vote. Vote.

[Applause] vote. But then he backtracked and said, no, wait, at least that will make sure to cover folks with pre-existing conditions. Then I explained, well, actually, your plan does not do that. That his campaign had to come out and say, actually, that is not true, our plan would not do that. So Governor Romney was the fact- checked by his own campaign. That is rough. That is rough.

[Applause] Even they know his plan would take away coverage for tens of millions of Americans. Governor Romney said he would get rid of planned parenthood funding. Apparently, this, along with big bird, is a driving the deficits."

Mitt Romney didn't tell the truth about Medicare.

Mitt Romney misled Americans about his health care plan.

Mitt Romney didn't tell the truth about his tax plan, his plan for Americans with pre-existing conditions, his Medicare plan, nor the President's Medicare plan. Why would Romney not tell the truth about what he'd do as President? Because his real plans would hurt the middle class.

Romney: "Pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan."

I have to rate that mostly fiction

Congressman Duffy said he'd bring the axe. And did he ever. Trying to gut Medicare. Undermining Medicare warned the nonpartisan AARP. Essentially ending it. And increasing costs over six thousand a year. But Duffy's pay? He voted to protect it. And give Congress taxpayer-funded health care - for life. Congressman Duffy just doesn't get it.
