There seems to no shortage of plans floating around but here's another one, the Lieberman Coburn plan. Unlike the Ryan plan, it preserves Medicare in it's basic form but members are going to pay more. The plan features a $550 deducible, a sliding copay beginning at 20% and ending at 5% for catastrophic illness, reduced benefits for high incomes, and reduced coverage by medigap policies, and higher premiums for part B insurance. Plus eligibility increase 2mo/yr until it reaches 67.
Painfully, but unlike Ryan plan it preserves Medicare.

I like it better
You have to cough up more but the catastrophic vulnerability is not as bad
