Romney-Ryan Health Plan Is Spurned in Swing States in NYT Poll

Plans by Republican Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, to reshape the Medicare program are proving deeply unpopular in the swing-states of Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida, the New York Times reported, citing Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News polls.

The Romney-Ryan plan calls for future beneficiaries to be given fixed amounts of money to buy health coverage, and polls showed Medicare to be the third most crucial issue for voters in the three states, the NYT said.
