If the Ryan plan is imperfect or will produce unintended negative consequences, the debates and discussions and close analysis will reveal that and there will almost certainly be fixes and amendments. Electing Ryan does not make his plan for Medicare reform automatic any more than some of Barack Obama's more radical concepts became automatic when he was elected.
Ryan's plan solves nothing. Its claim to fame is that it aims to hit a per enrollee Medicare spending growth target that has already been achieved.
It's ideological drivel--a more expensive alternative designed solely to smash the most popular and most effective federal program in history.
Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. But we won't know without honest evaluation by people who want a solution rather than just want to favor or demonize somebody in politics.''
We can talk until we're blue in the face about this guy or that guy or whether something was filibustered--news flash: the filibuster is available to and is used by both parties--but until we are willing to look at a plan, concept, or idea objectively and leave personalities and politics out of it, there will never be any solutions to anything.
