BrounCare

Blake talks with Rep. Paul Broun Jr., who concedes that his proposal to abolish Medicare is a no-go.

Of course, earlier this summer during one of his town hall meetings, Broun conceded that - despite his belief the popular program is unconstitutional - he wouldn't seek to get rid of it. His bill, however, directly contradicts that statement by replacing the program with a less-than-stable mechanism that does nothing to increase access and has no measure of cost control in place (meaning his proposal will result in insurance rates rising).
