This is really a great example of the difference between liberalism and conservatism.
Liberals propose policies that sound and feel good. They make the person seem like a good person. The problem is they do not consider whether the policy works only if it makes the proposer of the plan look good.
Conservatives on the other hand favor plans that work.

Welfare is a good example.
Liberals want to give people something for nothing to make themselves feel good and seem to be good people, but what is and has been the effect. Welfare gave people stuff for free, but in the process it created a class of people that became welfare dependent and increased the welfare rolls that went from one generation to the next. Worse than that, due to the rules, it destroyed the Black family structure. Black families were very strong before welfare, but now 75% are Black children are born without fathers.

Conservatives believed that it is better to teach people how to fist rather than to give people fish and instituted workfare in the late 1990's with the agreement of Bill Clinton. The result is that by 2007, the welfare rolls are down 30%.

Healthcare is similar.
When Obama gives millions of new people unlimited Heath care insurance, you can be sure theybwill use it and abuse it. They will go to the doctor for every and reasons and for reasons that don't require a doctor. Theybwill do this because it will be free and they will not care about cost. The result will be that you will not be able to get a doctors appointment because the number of doctors will not have increased. It takes 7-8 years beyond a college degree to make a doctor. In addition this will cause the cost of health care to rise because under this system there is no competition in caregivers or insurance providers and increased demand by definition will result in an ncrease in cost.

The Ryan system on the other hand relies on vouchers. The value of vouchers is that it makes the patient cost conscience so they will not go to the doctor unless it is necessary. Also this system maintains competition in health care and insurance providers so this will also keep down costs. For catastrophic health care needs like major surgery the Ryan plan provides extra funds by application so all situations are covered if the person cannot afford it.

The Obama system ensures high and rising costs and lower services. The Ryan system keeps costs low due to competition, but provides services. The Obama plan will bankrupt everyone while reducing coverage.

Again it is a matter of a system that makes one feel good and is a dismal failure, or a system that works.

One more thing.
Mr Glazer's depiction of the Ryan plan is simply false, but what can you expect from liberal Democrats but a continuation of deceit and gutter politics. Mr Glazer is learning the Chicago way of character assasination from his mentor Obama instead of debating the issues.
Here is Ryan's plan below, so if you diasgree then let's stick with the issue and stop the character assasination and deceit.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
But if Obamacare goes into effect and nothing is done about the high and rising costs of Medicare and the Obama budget continues to the projected level of almost 30 trillion in debt in 10 years, while your mother may be eligible for free health care from Medicare, but the government will have no money to give it to your mother.

The choice is very simple. Continue the current insane levels of overspending which will inevitably end in the USA becoming even worse than Greece and thereby ending all government subsidies due to bankruptcy, or make some intelligent spending it's, e.g Ryan's 's plan, and not only survive but grow such that your mother will not need government support.

Vote for the socialistic government run current economic disaster which will surely lead to failure, or vote for growth and progress which inevitably leads to prosperity for everyone.

How did the USA become the most prosperous country in the world ever, with the lowest level of poverty in the world ever? Was it due to socialism or capitalism?

China and Israel are the two best current proofs of the superiority of capitalism. Both countries were socialistic and going nowhere. When Israel ended its socialistic commune system and became capitalistic, it grew incredibly such that today it is a world economic power. This was even more apparent with China. China was a socialistic/communist nation for decades and the entire county exceptbforvits leaders were in poverty. Now after adopting much of capitalism at many levels, china is a works economic power and many chineses are rich and the average income of a citizen of china has increased greatly.

If you want to continue the failed socialistic economic policies of Obama that make everyone poor, then vote for Biden.
