UPDATE: 12:28 – I called again to see if there has been any recent thinking on the Senator’s part regarding Paul Ryan’s plans to phase out Medicare next year. There hasn’t been. Senator Carper still has no position on Paul Ryan’s plainly stated intention to phase out Medicare next year.
I just called Carper’s DC office (202) 224-2441, and it is simply outrageous that Senator Tom Carper “has no position” on Paul Ryan’s plans to phase out Medicare next year. Ryan made his intentions clear three days ago. It is infuriating and ridiculous.
