Did Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-3rd) lie to us about Medicare?
In November 2010, he said this about Medicare:

I can't support legislation rammed through Congress that will raise our taxes, increase insurance premiums, and promise to make drastic cuts in Medicare. Americans deserve better than this law. I will work to repeal and defund this bad legislation that will drive up costs, increase the deficit, grow bureaucracy and lower the standards of health care that Americans expect. I will work to build true health care reform that focuses on free market competition, patient choice and high quality of care.

But he voted for Ryan's budget, which among other considerations, defunds Medicare:

So did Rep. Yoder lie to us?

I say if, and when, the Rep. has a townhall, we confront him with this discrepancy!
