Quote:I think Medicare is the killer. That's the ticking bomb that will bankrupt us. We can fix Social Security by raising the retirement age and doing a few other little adjustments. I don't know what we're going to do about Medicare.

 

I'm all for phasing out Social Security for starters.  A huge problem for some people is that they rely on the program as their "retirement income".  That's not what it's for.

 

As far as Medicare, this would be another program that I would be in favor of phasing out.  Health savings accounts are a much better idea.
