26. The same way that patient is going to come up with the extra $6000/year

In other words, it ain't gonna happen.

That is the thing that is so frustrating to me. The Ryan/Romney plan will take 15,000,000 seniors who have coverage today and will leave them with nothing but a worthless voucher. The voucher has no value unless you can scratch together the REST of the premium payment. Now this won't happen the first year, but that is absolutely inevitable if we followed their plan.

What are we going to do with 15,000,000 uninsured seniors? How come nobody is asking that question?
