Why Ryan Is Right On Medicare
from The Strata-Sphere by AJStrata

The big surprise about the Ryan plan is that the older voters and current seniors probably agree with Ryan. As Bill Kristol noted Medicare is bankrupt and ready to cut services and payments. Doctors are fleeing from it – at least the good ones.

So if you are like me, 51 years old, and faced with a choice between a higher cost, lower quality government run disaster or a lower cots, higher quality private insurance plan where I pick my solution – well it is a no brainer. I’m with Ryan. I would take a lower guaranteed premium support so I can pick my health care than an overpriced solution based on the US Post Office.

The left’s entire argument is there will be more MONEY poured into the government solution than Ryan’s. They are dumb enough to think this false indicator still fools most voters. Most voters know they can make a better choice than some faceless bureaucrat working for a cost cutting death panel in the bowels of the federal government.

This simple and immutable fact is why Ryan’s plan will be the more popular solution going forward. Don’t misunderestimate the powerful combination of low confidence in government, concern with the debts and deficits, and the opportunity to keep our money to make our own decisions.
