Medicare working to boost Obama in swing states, poll finds
By N.C. Aizenman, Jon Cohen and Peyton M. Craighill, Published: September 27
Voters in three critical swing states broadly oppose the far-reaching changes to Medicare Âassociated with the Republican presidential ticket and, by big margins, prefer President Obama to handle the issue, according to new state polls by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
For seniors in Florida, Ohio and Virginia, Medicare rivals the economy as a top voting issue. And by majorities topping 70 percent, seniors say they prefer to keep Medicare as a program with guaranteed benefits,
rather than moving to a system in which the government gives recipients fixed payments to buy coverage from private insurers or traditional Medicare, as Romney advocates.
