[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]People want to win elections and thus won't admit that we need changes to Medicare. Ruan's Plan is bold and a great step in dealing with our looming demographic disaster. [/quote]

You are again ignoring the fact that Romney is not supporting Ryan's plan. Specifically, Romney is attacking Obama for cutting $716 million from Medicare. Ryan's budget had the same cut. Romney says he won't cut those funds. In reality, Obama isn't cutting that money. It is money saved from future growth as a result of Obamacare.  Ryan also saves it from future growth, but doesn't have an offset. Romney says he will repeal Obamacare, which will cause Medicare costs to increase by the $716 million Obamacare saves (which is why Romney says he won't cut it). So, Romney doesn't actually have a plan to reform Medicare. Rather, he wants to return it to the pre-Obamacare status quo.

But, since you support Ryan's plan, how do you expect a voucher to pay for the ever-increasing costs of private insurance? Because the Ryan voucher won't keep up with insurance costs, the elderly will be left holding the bag themselves. I guess we call all look forward to spending our golden years eating dog food in order to afford health insurance. But, hey, dog food for the elderly is a bold plan.
