Ryan acknowledges that Romney’s plan is not a copy of the House GOP budget. And he’s fine with that, including Romney’s inclusion of traditional Medicare as an option within a defined-contribution model. “Alice Rivlin has been pushing this for a while,” Ryan says. “It works just as well as the other ideas. It’s different than what we have proposed, but it’s a fixed amount that you can take to either your private plans or a traditional fee-for-service system. As far as budget savings and driving patient-centered reforms, it still accomplishes that goal.”
