The Republicans are running an ad that supports Medicare which is a government run single payer health plan. The new stance contradicts the party's long history of skepticism toward government-run programs and Republican concerns about the long-term viability and health of the Medicare system.

The Republican National Committee recently launched a new campaign, "The Seniors' Bill of Rights," that pledged to prevent cuts to Medicare and protect the elderly from health care rationing based on age.

"Let's agree in both parties that Congress should only consider health reform proposals that protect senior citizens," the GOP chairman, Michael Steele, said in a television ad released in conjunction with the campaign.

Interesting change since Newt in 1995 proposed cutting Medicare spending by
$270 billion over 7 years.

The party of Reagan sure has changed from the Far Right to Left of Center.
