Paul Ryan’s new Medicare plan

March 20, 2012

This post has an unfair title. I’m writing this to say that I’m not going to be writing about Paul Ryan’s new plan for Medicare, which is to be released as part of the House GOP budget today at 10AM. I have five papers in process (i.e., too much paid work to do), so I have no time to write new blog posts.

However, we can crowd source this. If you see analysis and commentary on the plan, feel free to drop links in the comments. I might be able to swing back later or tomorrow and pull them into the following list. Just to get us started, here are some background materials:
