can also find him at facebook at facebook.com and will cain tweeting ali right now. thank you so much for joining the conversation this week on "your money," we are here every saturday at 1:00 p.m. eastern and every sunday. have a greatec wooend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com hello, everyone. i'm fredericka whitfield, the men on the presidential campaign trail are putting the spotlight on medicare. president obama's mitt romney's new vice presidential pick paul ryan are stumping today. the president is making two stops, two campaign stops in new hampshire this afternoon. he's in wyndham right now where he is hitting hard against ryan's budget plan that would turn medicare into a voucher system. >> the latest thing they've been trying is to talk about
11:01 am
medicare. now, you'd think they'd avoid talking about medicare given the fact that both of them have proposed to voucherize the medicare system. i guess they figure the best defense is to try to go on offense. so, new hampshire, here's what you need to know. since i've been in office, i have strengthened medicare. i've med reforms that have extended the life of the program that have saved millions of seniors hundreds of dollarsn their prescription drugs. the only changes to your benefits that i've made on medicare has been medicare now covers new preventive services like cancer screenings and wellness visits for free.
11:02 am
governor romney and congressman ryan have a very different plan. what they want to do is they want seniors to get a vouch tore buy their own insurance which could force seniors to payn extra $6400 a year for their health care. again, this is not my estimate. remember those guys that analyze these things for a living? that's their assessment. that doesn't strengthen medicare. that undoes the very guarantee of medicare. that's the core of the plan written by congressman ryan and endorsed by governor romney. so here's the bottom line. my plan saves money in medicare by cracking down on fraud, waste and insurance company subsidies. and their plan makes seniors pay more so they can give another tax cut to millionaires and
11:03 am
billionaires. my plan's already extended the life of medicare by nearly a decade. their plan would put medicare on track to be ended as we know it. it would be an different plan. a plan which you could not count on health care because it would have to be coming out of your pocket. that's the real difference between our plans on medicare. that's the choice in this election and that's why i'm running for second term as president of the united states, and i need your help. [ applause ] >> now, fouryears ago i
11:04 am
promised to cut middle-class taxes. that's exactly what i've done. by a total of about $3600 for the typical family. so just like we've got a difference on medicare, we've got a difference on taxes. right now what i want to do is keep taxes right where they are for the first $250,000 of everybody's income. so if your family makes under $250,000 which that includes 98% of americans -- that's you. 97% of small businesses, you won't see your income taxes increase by a single dime next year. now, if you're fortunate enough to be in the other 2%, you'll still keep your tax cut on the first $250,000 you make. that's a pretty good deal, but
11:05 am
all we're asking is for folks like me who make more than 250, we're asking that you contribute a little bit more above 250 so we can pay down this deficit and invest in things like making college more affordable, making sure our teachers aren't laid off, making sure our firefighters are there to respond to emergencies, making sure our economy grows, and keep in mind, you know, asking the wealthy to pay a little bit more, that doesn't eliminate our deficit, we're still going to make sure the government does its part by cutting away the spending we don't need and i've cut $1 trillion in spending and we've slated another trillion more, but we can't just reduce our deficit and our debt by gutting education and gutting research and development and gutting infrastructure and all we're asking folks like me to do
11:06 am
is go back to the rates we paid under bill clinton, which, by the way, was the time when we created 23 million new jobs and a whole bunch of millionaires to boot. [ applause ] see, i'm getting all fired up. and i want to explain that this is not just good for middle-class families and working families. it's good for everybody because what happens wn a police officer or a firefighter or teacher or construction worker or receptionist, what happens when they have a little more money in their pocket? they spend it on basic necessities. so maybe they go out and finally after ten years buy a new car? or maybe they buy a new computer
11:07 am
for their kid who's going off to college and that means business suddenly has more customers, and that means businesses are making more fro profits and that means businesses are hiring more workers whon turn have more money to spend which makes businesses do even better. that's how you grow an economy, not from the top down, but from the middle out and from the bottom up. that's the choice in this election and that's why i'm running for a second term as president. [ applause ] on issue after issue the choice could not be clearer. when the auto industry was on the verge of collapse, governor romney said let's let detroit go bankrupt. i said a million jobs are at stake, let's bet on american workers and american manufacturing and three and a half years later the american auto industry has come roaring back. that's the choice in this election. [ applause ]
11:08 am
governor romney likes to tout his private sector experience each though that experience was in companies called pioneers in the business of outsourcing manufacturing jobs. he wants to keep giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, i want to give tax breaks to companies that are here in the united states, hiring american workers to make american products to sell around the world. that's the difference in this election. [ applause ] governor romney thinks new sources of clean energy are, quote, image narey. since i took office we doubled the use of renewable energy like wind and solar, thousands of americans have good jobs because of it, it's not imaginary, it's
11:09 am
real. and we have to stop giving subsidies to taxpayers who are making plenty of profits and use that money to help american homegrown energy that has never been more promising. that's the choice in this election. [ applause ] in 2008 i promised i would end the war in iraq. we did. [ applause ] >> i said we'd go after al qaeda and bin laden. we did. we now are transitioning so that afghans take more responsibility for their security and we can stop bringing our troops home from there. all of these things -- all of
11:10 am
these things we did only because the incredible courage and dedication and patriotism for our men and women in uniform and that's why we've made historic investments in the va because i believe that anybody who has fought for america in uniform should not have to fight for a job when they come home, shouldn't have to fight for the benefits they've earned. >> usa! usa! usa! usa! >> so we could not be prouder of them, but we want them to return to a strong economy which means that after a decade of war it's time to do some nation building here at home. let's create a veterans jobs corps that can help returning heroes get jobs as firefighters and cops and communities that
11:11 am
need them the most. let's take some of the savings from war to rebuild our roads and our bridges and our schools all across america, broadband lines and wireless networks that can make us more competitive. let's put some construction workers back to work that helps everybody and that will help america be strong for decades to come. that's the choice in this election. that's what's at stake. up next, more from president obama and how this election is about more than choosing who takes over the white house.

powered by intel core processors. ♪ presidential campaigns. earlier we took you to florida where the gop vice presidential canned paul ryan spoke to a large group of senior citizens this morning. this afternoon president obama is campaigning in new hampshire and he's driving home several points that separate his campaign promises from those being made by the romney camp. the choice we face in november could not be bigger. it's not just a choice between two candidates or two political parties. it is a choice between two
11:15 am
fundamentally different visions about where to take the country. two fundamentally different paths for america and the decisions that you make, the direction you choose for us to walk in when you walk into that voting booth in november, it's going to have an impact not just on your lives, but it's going to have an impact on your kids or your grandkids and generations to come. some of you are involved in 2008 when we came together. [ applause ] and it wasn't just democrats. we had independents and even some republicans. there you go. and the idea was that we needed to restore the basic bargain that made this country great. the basic bargain that created the most prosperous economy that the world has ever known and it's a simple bargain.
11:16 am
it says if you work hard that work should be rewarded. it says that if you put in enough effort and you take seriously your responsibilities you should be able to find a job that pays the bills. you should be able to afford a home you can call your own. you should count on health care if you get sick. you should be able to retire with some dignity and some respect after a lifetime of labor. >> and most important you should be able to give your kids the kind of education and opportunity that alls them to dream bigger and do better than you ever did. [ applause ] >> that's -- that's the american promise. that's the american dream and we
11:17 am
knew restoring it wouldn't be easy, but it would take more than one year or one term or even more than one president because we'd gone through a decade in which that promise was not being kept. we have seen a decade in which incomes and wages were going down even as the cost from everything from health care to college were going up. we have seen a decade in which -- in which jobs were being shipped overseas, in which we took a surplus and turned it into a deficit, and ran two wars on a credit card all culminating in the worst financial crisis since the great depression. and middle-class families who were already getting hammered, lost their jobs, lost their savings, some lost their homes and the american dream seemed even further out of reach. so when i ran for office i told
11:18 am
you, there are no quick fixes. there are no easy solutions, but what i also insisted was that if we pulled together, we have everything we need to meet our challenges. yes, we can. we still have the best workers in the world, the best entrepreneurs and small business people in the world, the best scientists, the best researchers, the best universities and the best colleges in the world. we're still a young -- we're still a young nation and we've got the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity and there's a reason why people still want to come here because no mter what the naysayers say and no matter how dark the other side tries to paint the situation
11:19 am
during election time, there's not another country on earth that wouldn't gladly change places with the united states of america. [ applause ] most of all, the american character has not changed. in fact, we saw during this crisis how people may have gotten knocked down, but they got right back up. folks, people in their 50s, 60s, losing their jobs go back, get retrained and find a new one. small business people keeping their doors open even if it meant em not taking a salary because they understood their workers had families that were depending on them. we may have gone through tough times, but it turns out we're tougher than tough times, and
11:20 am
that's -- and that's how we saved an auto industry on the brink of collapse. that's how we've created four and a half million new jobs and half a million in manufacturing. we are not there yet, we've still got a long way to go because we've got to make sure that here in america no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your last name is, here in america you can make it if you try. that's what this campaign is about and that's why i'm running for a second term as president of the united states.

>> we'll return now to the campaign trail in new hampshire. president barack obama getting tough on his rival mitt romney and romney's new running mate, paul ryan. >> we've got a particular vision of how to move the country forward. my opponent and his running mate have a very different view. you know, they believe the best way forward is to go right back
11:24 am
to the old topdown economics that got us into this mess in the first place. they -- their ideas are pretty simple. they're not hard to explain. they think if we get rid of more regulations on corporations and big banks some of which are in place to prevent another taxpayer-funded bailout and if we do more tax cuts for the wealthiest americans then somehow prosperity will rain down on all of you. that's their theory. in fact, the centerpiece of my opponent's entire economic plan is a new $5 trillion tax cut, a lot of it going to the wealthiest americans, his new running mate, congressman ryan, he put forward -- he put forward a plan that would let governor romney pay less than 1% in taxes each year. now, and here's the kicker.
11:25 am
he expects you to pick up the tab. governor romney's tax plan, this is not my analysis now, this is the analysis of independent folks who analyze tax plans for a living. that's what they do. their analysis show that governor romney's tax plan would actually raise taxes on middle class families with children by an average of $2,000, not to reduce the deficit, not to grow jobs, not to invest in education, but to give another tax cut to folks like him. now as governor romney and his running mate, when they're here in new hampshire on monday they'll be coming here on monday, ask him if that's fair. ask him how it will grow the economy. ask him how it will strengthen the middle class. they have been trying to sell
11:26 am
this trickledown snake oil before. it did not work then. it will not work now. it's not a plan to create jobs. it will not reduce the deficit. it will not move the economy forward. it's the wrong direction for ameri america. now -- you know, the truth is i think they know it's not a very popular idea. you can tell that -- you can tell that because now they're being dishonest about my plans. they're trying to throw everything at the wall just to see what will stick. republican vice presidential candidate paul ryan is pushing his vision for the future of medicare. he brought his mom to a florida state today and spelled out his plan.

11:31 am
romney announced paul ryan as his running mate and you're right, since then, we haven't talked about medicare on the campaign trail and here on cable news and elsewhere. it has become a huge topic in the campaign. as for today, paul ryan, had a secret weapon, i guess you could say, there were not one, but two ryans on the stage. paul ryan started this event by introducing his mom becky, she lives part of the year here and part of the year in wisconsin where paul ryan hails from, of course, and paul ryan brought up his mother throughout his speech to talk about medicare and to talk about what he said he and mitt romney would do to protect medicare and to criticize the president. he said the president would take money away from medicare to take care of the president's health care law and here's a taste of what paul ryan had to say. >> here is what mitt romney and i will do. we will end the raid of medicare. we will restore the promise of this program and we will make
11:32 am
sure that thisoard of bureaucrats will not mess with my mom's health care or your mom's health care. >> reporter: of course, president obama doesn't agree with that. you played much of the president's speech from new hampshire today. you've got two very, very different opinions on medicare which is such an important issue with seniors and those about near retirement, fred. >> let's talk about the significance of florida and how important it is in this election and really any presidential election, but especially now. >> oh, yea. president obama, then senator obama four years ago, he narrowly won florida. it is the biggest of the battleground states. the latest polls indicate that the president has a slight advantage over mitt romney, but of course, seniors are such an important factor here. they make up about a quarter of the voting electorate and medicare is such an important poppic. you mentioned where i am, the villages and this is a very pro-republican area and of

most of them are people born from 1945 to 1965 and many of them don't even know they have it. dr. sue jatha is joining me to talk more about this recommention. first to help clarify, hepatitis c, what is it? because there are a few hepatitis viruses, but c is the one we are most concerned about right now. >> correct. c is not preventable. there is a vaccine out there, but nothing to protect you against hepatitis c. that's why this is a very important thing and baby boomers might have had exposure, tattoo with a dirty needle or experimenting with drugs and now we have really good treatments out there so getting diagnosed makes sense. you can treat this virus. you can also make lifestyle changes. maybe you stopped drinking or decreasing alcohol and you avoid certain medications that might be bad for the liver and it could be a deadly virus that could lead to liver failure and liver cirrhosis and liver
