The Romney-Ryan plan changes nothing for those already on Medicare
Of course it does. It immediately re-opens the donut hole, eliminates a number of preventive benefits, and slashes a major medical aid funding stream that supports millions of low-income Medicare beneficiaries.
Those 54 and younger will have a choice to remain on traditional Medicare, or accept a voucher to purchase their own plan in the private market.
A choice that was not present in the approach that was supported with virtual unanimity by both House and Senate Republicans last year.
We're to believe that come January the current crop of GOP Congressfolk will opt for the more moderate approach they pitched to make it through an election year? Forgive my skepticism.
