Biden keeps on interrupting during Medicare topic

Biden keeps on interrupting Ryan and laughing at his responses at VP debate. With reference to Obama’s lackluster debate presidential debate performance, Ryan fires back: I know you are under duress to make up for lost ground.

The discussion is about Medicare, probably the clearest difference between the Obama-Biden and Romney-Ryan approaches. Ryan says Obama-Biden got caught with their hand in the cookie jar by taking money from Medicare to pay for Obamacare. Medicare needs reforms and Obama-Biden haven’t put a credible solution on a table, Ryan says.

Biden says seniors have more benefits now because of the health care law and pledges the Obama administration would never support a voucher plan for Medicare.
