If you read the plan, you'll even see there is a time when Congress can interdept oif the expense for the consumer gets too high.
Can you rephrase that?

His budget never made it to the Senate floor. Reid said they didn't need any ol' budget. Read the entire post.
What did the House pass?
The house passed an earlier version. This was updated this year.
.Democrats are still hammering an old, and since replaced, GOP proposal, claiming it would end Medicare, and cost seniors $6,000 more a year for their health care. The newest Republican budget, proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, keeps traditional Medicare unlike his plan from 2011 and the increased cost claim is no longer applicable to it.
Heres a quick rundown of the latest Ryan plan:
For seniors who are now in Medicare, nothing changes. They can stay with the traditional program as it is.
Beginning in 2023, 65-year-olds would have their choice of insurance plans private and traditional on a new Medicare exchange. A premium-support payment, like a subsidy, would be sent to the plan of their choice.
If the chosen plan costs more than the premium-support, the senior would pay the difference.
The Medicare eligibility age would be slowly raised to 67 by 2034.
All plans on the Medicare exchange would offer a base level of benefits, and they would be regulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The premium-support payments would be tied to the second-cheapest plan, which cant grow more than gross domestic product plus 0.5 percentage points. If the cost does grow faster, Congress would be required to step in and take some action to keep costs down

Republicans and Democrats alike agree that something has to be done about the spiraling costs of Medicare. The Ryan plan above is the most responsible action plan the Congress has had. I think many of you will agree.

Wow. I remember when wingnuts spent all of 2011 (and the first few months of 2012) denying that Ryan was straight up ending Medicare.
Then he dialed it back in an election year, opting to slowly strangle it instead of swiftly pulling the plug, and the right's response is: "Well, yeah, he did propose to end it but that's outdated! Why are you looking at what virtually every elected Republican voted for last year! That was eons ago!"
You people must be out of your fucking minds.
His proposal is not strangling it all. Read it.
So what they really wanted, which was an end to Medicare as we know it, ran into the obstacles of a Democratic Senate and President...
...of course, in the slim chance that the GOP had a really good November, they wouldn't have those obstacles,
and could happily return to what they really want.
The Ryan Medicare Plan...Not what Democrats claim
The Obamacare changes to Medicare added 8 years to its solvency, and the first thing Romney has promised to do is repeal Obamacare.

So, what happens after 8 years? That's some planning!

It's 8 years better than anything the GOP did for 8 years under Bush.

This is not what passed in his budget is it?
Anyhow, if it's a choice, and people can just stay in the current Medicare as is, where do you save money?

Romneycare, same thing, has brought cost rises from 15 to 2% a year in 6 years. That and a few tweaks fix Medicare period.
Those 15% cost rises are what ruined it's earliest estimates. ie- Pubcrappe this PUB system of health care have caused.
Ryan's plan destroys Medicare- You're TOAST. The rest of their plan is a DISASTER for the nonrich and the country.
I know, let's cut taxes on the bloated rich, destroy Medicare and health reform, raise taxes and fees on the nonrich, let corporate cheats run wild, cut aid to states and localities, raise military spending to more than the rest of the world combined, and worry about the debt in 2035. Absolute idiocy, dupes.
