Peter DeFazio: "Medicare passed with virtually no Republican support."

Jody Cowdrey — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 05:04:08 +0000

The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Peter DeFazio says “Medicare passed with virtually no Republican support”

During a House floor speech on April 13, 2011, Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., took aim at a recent proposal by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to change the way the Medicare system works. As part of a plan for reducing the national debt, Ryan proposes that Americans 55 and younger today would not get traditional Medicare but rather qualify for a government "premium support" to help them buy health insurance from a private company starting in 2022. (We recently fact-checked a characterization of the plan by one of Ryan’s fellow Republicans, Rep. Mike Pence of …

Mike Pence: A Republican proposal changes Medicare for those under age 55 so that they will "participate in the same kind of health plan that members of Congress do."

Jody Cowdrey — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 05:00:48 +0000

The Truth-o-Meter says: Barely True | Mike Pence said the Republican Medicare proposal will allow seniors to buy the same kind of health care as Congress

Correction: This item was originally published at about noon on April 13, 2011, based on ABC's transcript of "This Week With Christiane Amanpour." Shortly afterward, Pence's press office notified us that the transcript text was wrong — leaving out the words "kind of." Listening to the exchange on video, we confirmed the error in our original ruling. As a result, we are republishing this item at about 6 p.m. on April 13 with the correct quote from Pence and have upgraded the ruling from False to Barely True. Republicans have better proposals than Democrats to rein in future …
