He proposed a system of grants that would lead to cost savings. It’s designed to be easier to administer and use and thus allow for the system to be run by a smaller workforce and consume less doctor and patient time.

As for jobs training, what Congressman Ryan proposed was consolidation. His view is that there are too many programs and that they are duplicating each other’s functions. He wants reform to reduce overhead and administrative staff, while still providing the job training. The reason this gets objections is that some in politics use those administrative positions as political plums.
