I hear a lot of New Democrats talking or sounding left again concerning
Medicare and the Ryan plan. But what is their "balanced way" at "reforming"? New Democrats and supporters, this progressive would like to know so you have the floor. Feel free to post as detailed a proposal or explanation as you like.

4. I would like to see a detailed plan from everyone.
And would like to see how it extrapolates out 30 to 60 years out when I would be eligible.

5. I would also. But I'm 54 about to turn 55 paying outrageous
amounts in premiums and deductables. I hear whatever reform would hit us and not existing seniors. As a taxpayer and citizen, I want to know. It should be my right to know what I'll end up with. I was hoping for some answers.
