- The 2012 "Path to Prosperity" budget proposal spearheaded by Paul Ryan called for a full repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare". The proposal stated: "Congress must repeal the President's disastrous new law, diminish the power of unelected bureaucrats over personal health care decisions, and restore that power to individuals and families by advancing reforms that allow robust choice and competition in health care."[1]
- The proposal also included changes to Medicare. The proposal stated: "workers currently under the age of 55, beginning in 2023, those seniors would be given a choice of private plans competing alongside the traditional fee-for-service option on a newly created Medicare Exchange. Medicare would provide a premium-support payment either to pay for or offset the premium of the plan chosen by the senior."[1]
