Paul Ryan's plan for Medicare

Here is an honest to God independent's thoughts about Paul Ryan's plan to change Medicare:

He's on the right track.

I know the public by and large hates it. Here is my answer to that problem:

It needs sweetening. Perhaps this modification could work:

Add in some cold hard cash annually beginning at 60 years of age into a health savings account. Give people $2,000 and let it start building over time, which it could if they are a bit fortunate and somewhat careful not to overuse medical care.

Then top that off with something akin to Paul Ryan's proposal.
