GOP offers a 6-point health care plan for seniors

In a slow week for Washington D.C., Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele announced that the GOP has a 6-point health care plan to protect the greatest generation, seniors.

Aiming to gain some attention in the health care debate, the GOP states they have an alternative to the Democrats attempt to ´raid not aid´ Medicare. According to Steele, the current plan to cut a half of trillion in Medicare costs to fund the President´s health care experiment is wrong.

"By cutting hospital payments and Medicare Advantage, means the White House will reduce treatment options for seniors," Steele claimed in a statement to the press.

Tapping into the anger senior citizens are expressing across the country at town hall meetings, Republicans says the greatest generation deserves better and put forward a six-point plan.

Protect Medicare and not cut in the name of health care reform

Prohibit government from getting between seniors and their doctors

Prohibit efforts to ration health care based on age

Prevent government from interfering with end-of-life care discussions

Ensure seniors can keep their current coverage

Protect veterans by preserving Tricare and other benefit programs for military families.

After the release of the new plan, Steele believes it´s not too late for the President to work toward a bi-partisan health care plan. "Reversing course and joining Republicans in support for our nation´s senior citizens is a good place to start."
