Tommy Thompson won't break his promises.
"Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin is no protector of seniors," said Thompson. "My opponent's only plan for Medicare is to gut $716 billion from it, put a board of 15 unelected bureaucrats in charge of rationing care, and sit back and watch as it goes insolvent. As if that wasn't enough, she has openly opposed Medicare Part D, a plan that 90 percent of seniors support. Wisconsin seniors know they can trust me to preserve their health care and keep costs low because I have a long record of fighting for them, both as Governor and as Health and Human Services Secretary.
"Now, I have a plan to fight for them again. I will preserve Medicare for seniors today and ensure its lasting benefits for future seniors by reforming the broken system, making it more cost effective and giving them the power of choice in making their own health care decisions."
