This is not a proposal to eliminate Medicare, it's a proposal to reform Medicare and make it (somewhat) more sustainable.
Currently, Medicare is unsustainable. Meaning that it will not be sustained. Foot stomping and being Very, Very Angry, and banging our sippy cups and blaming each other isn't going to stop the math.
It's an unworkable idea. Seniors aren't going to be able to find their own health insurance with any "voucher" provided by the government.
The reason Medicare is so expensive is that health care in this country is the most expensive in the world.
