The members of the Alliance for Retired Americans were angry about a recent column by national GOP chair Michael Steele, who said health care reform would lead to rationing for the elderly and deep cuts to Medicare.RNC’s “Bill of Rights”

It contains a number of claims we’ve seen and criticized before, but also contains one new one that has some truth to it, and another fresh one that has very little. The RNC says that cuts proposed by Democrats "threaten millions of seniors with being forced from their current Medicare Advantage plans."For those concerned about the cost of current healthcare plans being considered
