We Must "End Medicare As We Know it"
Medicare as we know it is unsustainable. It will ultimately no longer exist in its current state; it remains to be seen how it will end and on whose terms. At least Paul Ryan has offered his plan on Medicare Reform. If anyone else does, I'll post those too.

Politicians in Public and in Private
It seems that politicians never live up to who we would hope they'd be, politics lately has been dominated by absurd over the top rhetoric instead of real debate.
President Clinton was caught on camera having a candid moment with Congressman Paul Ryan, where he states that he hopes the democrats don't use the special election victory in New York as a signal to do nothing on Health Care. He then tells Ryan that if he needs to talk to give him a call.
That candid conversation is exactly what should be expected of our politicians, to talk honestly about policy without demagoguing.
Sadly, just moments later when Clinton was on stage he characterized Ryan's plan would encourage Seniors to "Use less care, and die quicker".
Why can't they just be decent human beings all the time.

Don't Scorn Ryan's attempt at Serious Reform
Joe Nocera is not impressed with Paul Ryan's plan, but he is disappointed that Democrats seem more interested in using Ryan's plan to play politics and win elections, then they are in having a serious debate about the need to Medicare reform.
Paul Ryan is talking to Americans like Adults, Will Obama?
Fareed Zakaria points out in his piece that Paul Ryan's budget is far from perfect. But that it is one of the only honest attempts put forward to tackle our nation's long term debt issues. President Obama has repeatedly said, that it's time to have an adult conversation about the issues. Well, Mr. Ryan has started it, will President Obama join him.

Medicare, Scare tactics and Lies
When it comes to an honest debate on Medicare Reform, good luck. Instead we get fear mongering, distortion and out right lies. Which is useful for winning elections, but not helpful in tackling our long term debt issues.
