One viewpoint about cutting Medicare costs:
Yes, we have a long-term budget crisis. And, yes, Medicare costs are at the heart of it. But don’t be fooled into believing Medicare itself is the problem. House Republicans want to get rid of Medicare. Instead they offer vouchers to be cashed in with private insurers. That’s nuts. It would leave seniors with less health care and insurers with fatter profits.
