Do people even realize that the "RYAN MEDICARE PLAN" was actually co-written as a bipartisan bill? Democratic senator Ron Wyden of Oregon co-wrote the medicare plan with Paul Ryan.
Both Wyden and Ryan received complaints from their own parties for compromising and writing this bill together, but they did it anyway. The person that runs medicare thinks it is a good idea, and the congressional budget office says it would drastically reduce medicare spending without lowering benefits for anyone.
Why, other than to win an election, are democrats demonizing this great idea that is bipartisan and everyone agrees would work???
I don't think that you realize that there is a HUGE difference between "nonpartisan" and "bipartisan."
