The 'plan' does indeed claim it will leave the present system in place for everyone fifty-five and older, with the voucher system coming only when people now fifty-four or younger reach eligibility age. The vouchers will be for an amount well below the actual costs of insurance, and are set to rise in a proportion much less than the rates at which insurance prices are expected to rise, so that in practice most retirees will not be able to acquire adequate insurance, if they can acquire any, though doubtless fraudsters will spring like toadstools to collect the vouchers without providing any real coverage. Above this, there will be the fact that exclusion for 'pre-existing conditions' will be allowed, and very few people will reach retirement age without something previously diagnosed that most insurance companies would consider grounds to refuse to sell them coverage.

The long and short of is you can tell your young people this plan is designed to screw, blue, and tattoo them, whatever happens to you, and that Ryan and Romney and the rest of the Republicans are counting on you being such a selfish &^%**# that you will not give a damn what happens to them so long as you have yours....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

Repugs so when they see "damn, it affects ME" they just might change their minds. I have a feeling the part about preexisting conditions is the key to getting Mr. Obama re-elected. Thanks, again.

Since R/R plan on repealing the ACA the second they change the drapes, your prescription bills will go up because the donut hole will be back!

Because once everyone under 65 knows all they'll be getting is coupons for policies that insurance companies may or may not even want to offer, it will be a very short time before younger generations will be objecting to paying the high costs of keeping over 65's in traditional medicare. Once all the under 65's have no hope of benefiting themselves, they won't want to pay for the over 65's either. That's human nature.
