Medicare solved the initial problem. It was designed to solve. But there is so much more that we need to do to make sure that the program improves and of course most importantly, is around for our children and grandchildren. That will be a whole other discussion. What changes would you make . First i think we need to establish that something is happening. As producing much better results.
