US House of Representatives votes to abolish Medicare
By Patrick Martin

In the most reactionary social policy proposal in recent US history, the House of Representatives voted Friday afternoon to support the abolition of the Medicare program, the government health insurance system for tens of millions of retired and disabled Americans. The 235-193 margin was a near party-line vote, with only four Republicans opposing the bill and no Democrats supporting it.
Comentário: O Medicare é um dos programas públicos mantidos pelos EEUU que garante um sistema de seguro social de saúde para dezenas de milhões de americanos.
Isto só demonstra o caráter absurdamente reacionário da proposta dos republicanos.
