Medicare is far from perfect, but it works. Though it's true that Medicare will consume a growing percentage of the GDP in the long-run, it's the dysfunction of our overall health care system that is driving up costs. We cannot risk privatizing it for political expedience.

Medicare has provoked sharp disagreement in this presidential campaign. Unfortunately, on this critical issue, neither candidate is leveling with the American people.

WASHINGTON — Medicare is the one health insurance plan that will cover virtually every American at some point in life, and Republican Mitt Romne...

Based on its actions, one can only suspect the Obama campaign "poll-tested" Romney's lies about Medicare, found that they had some traction, and thus decided to counter them directly.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this past Friday, few were pleased to hear Mitt Romney's plans to cut Social Security and Medicare.
