I have seen lively debate over the macro-scale incoherence of the Ryan voucher plan for eliminating Medicare. The cost of the vouchers, everyone points out, would quickly fall behind the cost of care, leading to a greater and greater shift to insured patients, or to greater and greater denial of care for financial reasons.

But I haven't seen much effort to go into the details of how a voucher-supported private senior health care finance system (a VSPSHCFS...quite a mouthful) would actually operate.

So I started thinking...and need better minds to fill in more!
