Changes

'''Implement bipartisan Medicare premium support'''. Under current law, seniors in Medicare can choose the traditional option (called fee-for-service) or private health plan options (called Medicare Advantage). However, politicians, bureaucrats and lobbyists – '''not doctors, patients and innovators ''' – decide how much government pays for those benefits. Under this proposal, private health care plans (like Humana and Kaiser), '''other innovators and traditional Medicare will compete on the best price to offer ''' Medicare benefits to seniors. Seniors’ premium support will be based on the average of those prices – and be 6 percent lower on average. Competition will make spending more efficient, and seniors could pay less and have more options. [https://jeb2016.com/summary-medicare-social-security/?lang=en (JBWER)]
