Or if you define Medicare are only being a certain precise design, than "destroying it" is of little consequence, redesigning programs from time to time is a good thing in many cases (sure the new design could be worse, but it could be better, sure constant redesign is often more disruptive than beneficial even if the new design is good, but that point hardly applies here).

If there were a proposal to change Medicare to single provider, that is, the providers, rather than being in business, were employees of the government as they are in Britain, would you see that as Medicare being destroyed?

By the definition he seems to be using he should.

"There is nothing in the proposal that changes the essence of the program."

Of course not, just that it changes the entire concept of Medicare and the administration of it......
