The Way to "Save" Medicare Is to Expand It

The Way to "Save" Medicare Is to Expand It
"Medicare is broken. Medicare spending is out of control. Medicare will go bankrupt in 2024. If we don't act soon, Medicare will bankrupt the entire country.
Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.
The whole US health care system is broken, but Medicare isn't what broke it. Medicare is the glue that holds it together. Without Medicare, the whole system would have collapsed long ago."
