>The cost of health care is going up because demand is skyrocketing.

It's going up not because demand is skyrocketing; it's going up because the demand is pretty inelastic. People will pay what they have to to save their own lives.

>If people choose to leave their retirement in the hands of the markets, they should be allowed to. Even the most conservative investment will give better returns than the SS Ponzi scheme these days.

It's not meant to provide a high return! It's meant to provide safety. If you want a high return, you can have a separate retirement account. No one's stopping you from doing that.

>Ryan's proposal will SAVE SS and Medicare. The alternative is to drastically raise taxes on everyone or cut benefits to beneficiaries, neither of which will be very popular.

In Ryan's vision, neither will be anywhere near how we've ever known it.
