The disruptions at his last town hall in Racine took place after Ryan told the audience that his budget “will change nothing for your Medicare benefits” for people over age 55.
Several people in the crowd responded with boos and shouts of “What about my children,” and the man Ryan kicked out of the forum repeatedly shouted protests such as “because they vote for you.”
The issue of whether the plan would hurt benefits for those over 55 — and whether the changes leave people under 54 without Medicare — has prompted negative feedback at other meetings as well, as protesters in Ryan’s audiences have insisted that younger adults shouldn’t have their benefits changed, either.
