WASHINGTON, June 1 (UPI) -- Almost three-fifths of the U.S. public opposes Republican plans to change Medicare, a poll indicated Wednesday.
The CNN/Opinion Research survey found 58 percent of those polled do not like the Republican proposal, while 35 percent support it. The plan put forward by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., would shift Medicare to a system of vouchers for private health insurance although it would not affect anyone who turns 65 in the next decade.
