He wants Medicare recipients(all of them as a group) to receive only what they(all of them as a group) pay into it. He isn't talking about an individual input to output parity....at least not that I can see from watching his statements made in the video Motherjones used as a source to mischaracterize his position.

A group is a collection of individuals. The group 'Medicare recipients' is nothing more than a collection of individual 'Medicare recipients'. If none of the individuals receiving Medicare can afford healthcare costs then what could possibly be the reasoning behind the notion that the group comprising these individuals can?

The group can't, which is why the program exists and is subsidized by a larger group...all taxpayers. Again, Brat's desire to make Medicare recipients pay the full burden of healthcare costs is equivalent to denying care since they as a collection of individuals cannot afford it.

Does the government deny poor people cars they can't afford by not buying those cars for them? Of course not. Not purchasing something for someone is not the same as denying that thing to someone. The claim that Brat wants to deny health care to seniors is ludicrous. Brat made no such claim. Liberaltards twisting his words to try to get others to hate him make that claim.

No home owner's insurance, no renter's insurance, no automobile insurance, no health insurance, no travel insurance, no disability insurance, nothing.

This is good and should be adopted by all those like him because because it increases the chance they would actually be useful to humanity in the sense they would improving the human gene pool by eliminating themselves early.

Chuck, I have no problem with the concept of Medicare. I believe the younger generation has a moral obligation to care for the elderly and Medicare is one vehicle by which we do that. I am not defending Brat's position. I am calling Bullshit on the mischaracterization of it.

The problem I am complaining about in this thread is two fold.
A)Certain people let liberaltard sites like MotherJones think for them.
B)Certain people are so immoral that they lie and slander and distort the position of those who have a differently ideology then they do so as to formant hate.

Chuck...I'm not sure about A....but your post above...definitely puts you in the B category.
