Ryan's Plan for Medicare Is Huge Bet by GOP
Keywords:
Under a plan called "premium support" Paul Ryan's U.S. budget proposal would have seniors choose a private insurance plan from a federally operated exchange. Each year the government would pay private insurers a specific amount to cover the cost of premiums with the rest borne by seniors. The total amount paid by the government would go up only at the rate of overall inflation, it would not go up at the higher rate of health care inflation. By doing this the government would take off the trillions of dollars of projected spending on health care that are largely the result of the higher inflation rate in health care costs. This higher inflation rate on health care costs is something that both parties have failed to control, and remains a major weakness in all health care proposals to date, including the Obama health care legislation. Allowed to continue growing at this rate when U.S. debt to GDP is nearing 100%, health care inflation costs pose major risks to the nation's finances.
The Republican U.S. Budget proposal made by Paul Ryan in 2012
09/16/2010
Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, has outlined a bold proposal to bring the U.S. budget deficits down from the $1 trillion level of the last 3 years. It would bring changes to Medicare and Medicaid, and reduce the individual and corporate income tax levels from 35% to 25%. Medicare would become a premium support system with the government paying the premium for an array of private insurance plans, and Medicaid would become a block grant system.

Looking Back- The Ron Wyden Free Choice Amendment in Sept. 2009 to introduce choice and competition in health care
09/17/2009
Wyden's emphasis on choice for all Americans in health care and introducing competition in health care services to pull back runaway medical costs was a critical piece of health care reform that did not find its way into the final health care bill. In the American system quality and cost is achieved through competition. Leaving this out in the final health care bill and the law that was passed means leaving out its vital element without which runaway costs are not checked. The Wyden-Ryan proposal on health care in December 2011 also emphasized this vital element of choice and competition as critical to controlling costs.

The rarely mentioned origins of Paul Ryan's and Ron Wyden's Medicare proposal in a debate subject to distortions on all sides
09/16/2010
To fully understand the developing U.S. Medicare reform proposal of Rep. Paul Ryan and Senator Ron Wyden, a look back at its origins. This includes work done at the Hoover Institution and by other think tanks on the liberal side on a way forward for Medicare that retains all the advantages of the current system and corrects its disadvantages in not reining in runaway costs, and moves gradually so that it can be improved. The vital element in their proposal is injecting choice and competition to control costs .

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
