Reagan's former budget director was quite critical of Ryan's budget.
The interesting component is it doesn't quite gut medicare as people have been saying, but rather creates a voucher system that will put more pressure on the states.
The Obama plan reduces federal medicare levels but funds at a higher rate to states that do not opt out.
The problem with both plans is that neither addresses the issue of ensuring that low income seniors are not hurt by cuts that would end up effectually being 'across the board' as opposes to cutting the most affluent seniors.

providers for whom Medicare constitutes a substantive portion of their business could find it difficult to remain profitable and, absent legislative intervention, might end their participation in the program (possibly jeopardizing access to care for beneficiaries).Simulations by the Office of the Actuary suggest that roughly 15 percent of Part A providers would become unprofitablewithin the 10-year projection period as a result of the productivity adjustments.
It is going to be a hard lesson when you realize that in supporting the party that lies as a manner of course, they also lie to you.
