This plan would disadvantage those with less money & advantage those with more money. Additionally, it would tend to advantage younger retirees, or almost retirees & disadvantage older retirees. Due to inflation generally younger retirees are collecting more social security & some almost retirees are still currently working. Yes, I know there are some 'rich' retirees, they would be advantaged in sentence 1.
Additionally younger retirees who might vote for a plan such as this, due to having more disposable income & less patience, would eventually be disadvantaged themselves, as their healthcare costs rise & their income no longer keeps up with inflation, as the fees imposed to today would surely rise in the future as all fees do.
