Paul Ryan to Obama: Don't demagogue my Medicare plan


Paul Ryan told Barack Obama on Wednesday that the president has been incorrectly describing the Republican congressman's Medicare plan as a voucher system.

Ryan told reporters outside the White House that he "simply explained what our plan is" to Obama during a meeting in the East Room with the House GOP.

"It's been mis-described by the president and others," Ryan said. He added that he wanted to clarify his position with Obama "so that in the future, he won't mischaracterize it."
