Liberal Trope:
Ryan wants to destroy Medicare.
By now the details of the Wyden-Ryan Medicare plan are well known. Avik Roy explains:
the Wyden-Ryan Medicare planso named because it was coauthored by progressive Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.)
only applies to Americans younger than 55 years of age, and
gives those younger individuals the option of remaining in the traditional Medicare program,
or choosing a comparable private-sector insurance plan.
The policy-wonk term for this approach is competitive bidding, an idea that originated with Democrats. The Wyden-Ryan plan is nearly identical to one that was introduced a few weeks earlier by Mitt Romney.
