We should see this for what it is: a waste of government time and abuse of government resources and a vindictive attempt to settle a political score and silence a voice that represents seniors.

The CBO has said it would lead to an increase in overall national health spending as seniors and people with disabilities are moved into less efficient, more costly private plans.
If we had vouchers, or whatever you want to call premium support things, the Medicare would stop being a defined benefit plan and become a defined contribution plan, would it not?
I can count on maybe one hand the Democrats who support vouchers or similar proposals.
I strongly agree with that and yet, here we are where repealing the ACA without a replacement as the Republicans have already begun to do, would cost roughly $350 billion through 2027.
