Federal employees already have a choice of health plans. Every year, they receive a book with a list of options, comparing the benefits. They get to choose the program that suits them best. If public servants have this option, we should give the same choice to the public. Under my plan, Medicare will continue as an entitlement - a basic guarantee of government.
Seniors can choose to stay in the current system.
Or they could choose a different plan that meets their particular needs - maybe eye care or dental care. All seniors will get help buying prescription drug coverage. And all low-income seniors will have that coverage free of charge. This applies to all seniors, at every income level. Serious illness is hard enough without the fear of financial ruin.
