I'm not sure I follow you. Right now, total health expenditures are X. In 2022, under current law, total health expenditures will be Y. Of that Y, the government will have a share, less call it A and private parties will have a share, B. In 2022, under the Ryan Plan, total health expenditures will be Y + Z, but the governments share will be substantially less than A and private parties' share will be substantially more than B. Overall, the Ryan Plan increases total health expenditures while lowering the governments share of the costs and increase private parties' share of the costs.
I am not surprised that you didn't follow.... try reading this portion again.... actually, read it 3-10 times (ie... as many as it takes for you to understand)
Under the extended-baseline scenario, debt held by the public is projected to rise from about 62 percent of GDP in 2010 to about 90 percent of GDP in 2050.13 Under the alternative fiscal scenario, the ratio of debt to GDP is projected to rise to more than 300 percent in 2050 (see Table 1 on page 3). Under the proposal, the ratio of debt to GDP would be significantly smaller over the long term—falling to 48 percent in 2040 and 10 percent in 2050.
