Let's just talk about the voucher system for a moment, because that is a serious health care reform proposal .. right or wrong. You left some minor details that are contained in Ryan's Medicare reform proposal: 1. Those who are 55 or older will see no change in the system. The government will continue to pay directly for Medicare covered costs. 2. The federal government will still be very much involved, but it's role will change. Rather than directly paying for medical costs, whatever they are, up to a person's Medicare limit, it will become a broker of approved procedures and costs with oversight responsibility. This will help control overcharging of hospitals and the doctors associated with them. As it is now, hospitals and doctors order costly tests and procedures, many totally unnecessary. We just got a hospital bill for someone who recently visited an emergency room with a fractured skull. The CAT scan was obviously necessary but $90 for a Tylenol? 3. Ryan modified his plan to include the ability to "opt" out of the whole deal, if that's a person's preference. Their medical care would go back to the old Medicare system and method. So, why is this so bad to even discuss? That's what I don't get. |

It was a gimmick that R's loved because it gave congress an excuse to treat them like saviors of the economy. After three or four tries and no successes, they're still trying to hawk that crap. They don't acutally care if it works, they have no regard for the long term health of the country, they care about next quarter or next year or their life or their kid's entitled life.
