    Ryan's plan is sensible for future generations. The SS and Medicare programs are broke and we have to do something or no one will receive benefits in years to come. Your scare tactics don't work. People are educated and know we need to redesign these programs to save them. Obama does nothing but put more people on welfare. He has no plan and no budget to help Americans. obama failed

    Please learn to do some research. Scaring seniors and class warfare are tools used by the weak and uneducated.
    How does Ryan do it? Medicare reform is at the heart of the Path to Prosperity. Where Obamacare relies on unelected bureaucrats to keep costs down, the Ryan path uses competition. Under Ryan’s revised “premium support” plan—essentially the Wyden-Ryan proposal—seniors beginning in 2023 could use their Medicare dollars to choose from a menu of private plans, along with Medicare’s traditional fee-for-service system. Every year there would be a competitive bidding process among all plans to determine the dollar amount of the federal contribution that seniors would use to purchase coverage. (The benefits in the private plans would have to be as least as good as Medicare.) The second least-expensive approved plan, or Medicare, whichever is least expensive, would establish the benchmark that determines the premium support amount.

    Seniors who prefer pricier plans would have to pay the difference between the premium subsidy and the monthly premium. Seniors who choose a less expensive plan could pocket the difference. As a backup—and so CBO could score the plan—per capita costs could not exceed nominal GDP growth plus 0.5%.
