Why does the Ryan budget propose a private health insurance solution to a private insurance market failure?

[ideogenetic]

Why would Medicaid and Medicare exist if the private health insurance market would properly serve those people?

How about you answer this: Why are MOST of government entitlement programs fiscally unsustainable?.

I hope you know that the federal budget centers 60% of it around entitlements... and in case you forgot, we're almost $16 trillion in debt due to it.

So you tell me what's more successful.

I guess they would not. But it does not and they do exist so what do you want?

[Romney Hood]

they also want to privatize SS and make it to like a 401k

imagine if SS was like a 401k in 2008. They would crash and poverty would rise very hard

Between Romney and Ryan, all their "solutions" are the same thing that put us in this recession to begin. If you want to end Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and take away women's rights over their own bodies, and see the rich get more tax breaks while you pay up to $2000 more per year in taxes yourself, Romney is your man.

A tax system overhaul along the lines that Mitt Romney has proposed would give big tax cuts to high-income households and increase the tax burden on middle- and lower-income households, according to an analysis from economists at the Tax Policy Center.

NUMBER OF TIMES PAUL RYAN’S BUDGET WILL RAISE THE DEBT CEILING:
8 times. (The average debt ceiling increase is 800-billio¬n. Ryan’s budget increases the debt by $6-trillio¬n)

NUMBER OF TIMES THE “PROGRESSI¬VE” BUDGET WILL RAISE DEBT CEILING:
0 times. The Progressiv¬e Budget actually balances the budget in 3 years, and creates surplus by 2021. It does this while saving Social Security and Medicare.

Faith Leaders: Paul Ryan’s Budget Plan Is Immoral
http://voices.yahoo.com/faith-leaders-pa...html?cat=9

"I think it'd be marvelous if the Senate were to pick up Paul Ryan's budget and to adopt it and pass it along to the president." ~ Mitt Romney

"I spent a good deal of time with Congressman Ryan. When his plan came out, I applauded it as an important step. We're going to have to make changes like the ones Paul Ryan proposed." ~ Mitt Romney

"In naming Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney has chosen a leader of the House Republicans who shares his commitment to the flawed theory that new budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthy, while placing greater burdens on the middle class and seniors, will somehow deliver a stronger economy. The architect of the radical Republican House budget, Ryan, like Romney, proposed an additional $250,000 tax cut for millionaires, and deep cuts in education from Head Start to college aid. His plan also would end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher system, shifting thousands of dollars in health care costs to seniors. As a member of Congress, Ryan rubber-stamped the reckless Bush economic policies that exploded our deficit and crashed our economy. Now the Romney-Ryan ticket would take us back by repeating the same, catastrophic mistakes." ~ President Obama
