<description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;div id=&quot;BlogContent&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Here&amp;amp;#8217,&lt;a href=&quot;http://cheapmichaelkorshandbags2013.tumblr.com&quot;&gt;Cheap Michael Kors Handbags&lt;/a&gt;;s a brief Q&amp;amp;A between Democratic Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey and &lt;em&gt;Health Affairs&lt;/em&gt; Blog. It took place earlier this afternoon during a press call by Senator Menendez, which was coordinated by the office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). In the exchange,&lt;a href=&quot;http://cheapmichaelkorshandbags2013.tumblr.com&quot;&gt;Michael Kors Outlet&lt;/a&gt;, Senator Menendez rules out any reform that turns Medicare into a &amp;#8220;premium support&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;voucher&amp;#8221; program, even if the terms are significantly more generous to beneficiaries than the plan proposed by House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Health Affairs&lt;/em&gt; Blog&lt;/strong&gt;: As you know, Rep. Ryan has proposed a particularly draconian version of what people refer to as a premium support approach to Medicare, or a voucher approach, but there are other versions that would have more generous subsidies, perhaps tied to the average-cost plan or the lowest-cost plan in a particular region, rather than the consumer price index, or that would include traditional Medicare as one of the choices.? If there was a less draconian version of premium support on the table, could you support any kind of plan in that model, or would you say that the entire model, not just Rep. Ryan��s plan, is off the table?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;strong&gt;Senator Menendez&lt;/strong&gt;: I can only speak for me. I don��t see ending Medicare as we know it as a vehicle that I would support. The reality is that insurance is about spreading risk at the end of the day, so when you have a pool that is more finite, older, and more likely to make claims on health insurance, it seems to me that there is a reason why all of the projections �C for example, the Ryan plan would cost New Jersey seniors $7,000 more out of pocket than they presently face. There��s a reason why Medicare was created in the first place: an older population with greater health care needs and demands ultimately isn��t necessarily going to [have its needs] met by the private market itself. ?So I don��t see that type of plan at the end of the day as something that I personally would support.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Health Affairs&lt;/em&gt; Blo&lt;/strong&gt;g: So you would consider even a more generous type of voucher plan, which maybe,? as I say, included traditional Medicare as a choice, or something modeled after the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan, where there was a subsidy tied to the average-cost or the lowest-cost plan in a region, even something along those lines, you would consider that ending Medicare as we know it?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;strong&gt;Senator Menendez&lt;/strong&gt;: I would.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
