Fact Check: Obamacare’s Vouchers for 20 Million People
Vice President Biden repeatedly invoked the term “vouchers” to characterize Congressman Ryan’s premium support proposals. If that’s the case, then Obamacare provides vouchers to 20 million people, according to the Congressional Budget Office. So it’s worth asking: If Vice President Biden and President Obama are so opposed to “vouchers” in Medicare, then why did they give vouchers to 20 million Americans as part of their health “reform?”
