Seniors vote.  More than 60% of registered seniors did in 2010. Bering that in mind ...

About Paul Ryan  ....

In the 15-page brochure, Ryan makes the false claim that his budget "does not cut Medicaid" and that it "spends more on Medicaid each year than it does the previous year." His own budget shows that's simply not true. His budget would slash Medicaid spending below current levels for years to come.

House GOP: This budget does not cut Medicaid. In fact, it spends more on Medicaid each year than it does the previous year, but does so in a fiscally responsible manner that will lower the cost curve and ensure the long-term sustainability of the programs. Only Washington politicians would call that a cut.

That's wrong. Ryan’s own “Path to Prosperity” proposal shows (on table S-3) that he would cut Medicaid spending from $275 billion in 2011 to $259 billion in 2012. And his Medicaid budget doesn't rise above the current year's spending until 2019. Even if we look at year-to-year spending, the Medicaid budget goes down in 2012, 2014 and 2015.

Ryan's projected 10-year Medicaid spending is $771 billion less that projected under current law, and $735 billion less than projected under the president’s budget. To accomplish that, Ryan goes much further than simply holding down the future growth of Medicaid spending. He would shrink it, and the claim that he wouldn't is an outright falsehood.
