You've worked hard all your life. you've paid medicare taxes for almost 30 years. but under the republican plan, medicare won't be there for you. instead of medicare as it exists now, under the republican plan you'll get a voucher that will pay as little as half your medicare costs when you turn 65—and as little as a quarter in your 80s. and all so that millionaires and billionaires can have a huge tax cut.
