Claim: The liberal group Patriot Majority distorts a Republican plan to change Medicare, claiming the GOP proposal says "no to Medicare, no to seniors." The plan proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin would radically change Medicare, but it wouldn't put an end to government health care for seniors. Instead, it proposes a new program starting in 2022. The attack comes in two ads airing in Montana and Missouri and designed to counter ads launched by the conservative Crossroads GPS.
