Sen. Moran was one of 40 Republicans who voted in May for a House-passed deficit-trimming budget plan authored by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., which would have cut spending by at least $4.4 trillion over 10. It also called for transforming Medicare from the health care entitlement program it is today to one that provides seniors with subsidies to purchase private insurance. Moran says Medicare is headed for insolvency and that he voted for the Ryan budget to force a conversation about how to prevent that from happening.
