Ledger Editorial, “The result is that Americans of limited means get pounded under Ryan’s plan. At a time when wages
for the average American are dropping and salaries for the rich are skyrocketing, Ryan would deepen the divide. He would endMedicare as we know it and replace it with a menu of private plans. New enrollees would get help paying the premiums, but
Washington’s contribution would be capped at a rate that is unlikely to keep up
with rising health costs. The modest cost-
containment provisions in Obama’s health reform would be rescinded.”[ Newark Star-Ledger Editorial, 4/7/11 ]

begin distributing money by block

seniors, replacing it with a voucher system in which recipients choose private insurers. The Congressional Budget Officefound that part of the plan, which would take effect in 2022, could nearly double out-of-
pocket costs for seniors.” [Sun -Sentinel, 4/16/11]
