This is a problem for both parties, and it is the main reason we can't have an honest discussion on entitlements, specifically SS and Medicare. Cuts are going to have to be made, especially to Medicare. Without them, there is no way Medicare is sustainable.
NO!
WE. DON'T. HAVE. TO. CUT. MEDICARE!
All we have to do to make it sustainable, is to fund it sufficiently.
Canada has medicare covering EVERYONE. Why can't we cover our seniors?
Canada is raising the retirement age to 67. Eventually, they too will have to raise it even higher. I really don't feel up to digging up all the graphs. If you do not understand that Medicare spending is going to eat up our federal budget over the next forty years, then you are lost. Costs will have to be cut or the program will implode. Raising the retirement age is the only logical answer to keep full benefits available to retirees.
