Expanding Medicare "a Plan for Financial Ruin'

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Monday regarding reports that Democratic Senators are considering expanding Medicare to satisfy government run health care proponents:

"If your goal was to come up with a plan for financial ruin, you couldn't come up with a better idea than cutting a program by $500 billion and simultaneously expanding the number of people it is required to cover."
