Ryan Medicare Slow Bleed Plan....

Send you a check for X amount to purchase your own private health plan. If it doesn't cover everything you need, too bad. Pay for it on your own.

By the way, here's a graph of healthcare cost inflation in the US compared to the French system.

Good luck trying to pay for a healthcare plan with a fixed amount of money coming from Paul Ryan's plan. It's a scam to shift the cost, over time, onto the elderly and away from having to raise taxes on the Romney/Ryan class.

Help Granny in the nursing home find the "plan that's right for her."
All while giving even more power to the bloodsucking insurance companies!
This is a joke, right?
