I read enough...
let me ask you this.....if the voucher system is terrible, why is it used to operate the insurance program for federal employees......
A voucher system that actually paid for the insurance would not be all that bad an idea but a voucher that doesn't actually pay for insurance and requires seniors to pay lots of their money to purchase the insurance isn't good at all, particularly compared to Medicare today. The Ryan "plan" doesn't cut costs, it just shifts the responsibility to pay for those costs to seniors, the disabled and the poor.
It's a shitty "plan." It is so shitty that the Republicans are walking away from it as fast as they can given the overwhelming public rejection of it.
If people are not responsible for part of their health costs then many will "over utilize" the system. This will cause costs to rise and in order to meet budget service will then have to be rationed.

Of course, not providing care to people that lack the ability to pay is rationing, too, but that don't seem to concern you much.
In any event, when you are dealing with a population that consumes a whole lot of healthcare, senior citizens, it is delusional to think that millions of individuals making individual decisions regarding their health care (to the extent they have the capacity to do so) can be more cost-effective than a single entity with the ability to negotiate price on a ginormous scale. You think you can negotiate lower prices from a supplier than Wal-Mart?
WalMart is a good example of how private sector capitalism reduces cost while allowing millions of people to make individual decisions. It seems like you've made my argument for me.

You seem to be a bit confused.

so you're argument is the voucher proposed is smaller than the voucher given to federal employees?.....let me check if that information is available on the internet....
