medicare reform is not just about medicare. medicare plays a crucial role in two of the most daunting challenges facing american policymakers; the relentless increase in the proportion of total spending that americans collectively devote to health care, and the unsustainable projected increase in publicly-held federal debt. medicare reform represents an opportunity to turn this large, publicly-funded program into the leader in increasing efficiency of health care and private -- of health care delivery for all americans. i believe that a well-crafted, bipartisan bill that introduces a premium support model while preserving traditional medicare can help achieve these goals. i'll focus my remarks on the plan that former senator pete domenici and i devised at the bipartisan policy center, but it is very similar to the plan offered by chairman paul ryan and senator ron wyden. our proposal would preserve traditional medicare as the default option for all seniors permanently. it would also offer seniors the opportunity to choose among

host: medicare coverage, part of medicare coverage is hospitalization. in fact it covers the full cost of hospitalization. dr. visits, medicare pays about 80%, beneficiary pays 20%. medigap is private insurance covering costs not paid by medicare. can you exmaybe that a little more. -- explain that a little more? guest: it doesn't pay for everything. there are limits on how much it will pay. so what a lot of seniors do they buy a private plan that covers that gap. that's why they call it medigap. it enables them not to worry about having a lot of financial exposure. host: joyce says in in email, medicare has clearly been underfunded by the baby boomer generation. now starting their collection of benefits. shouldn't the primary responsibility be borne by these recipients? it was their lax oversight of the government's lax oversight which caused this problem. they underfunded the benefits they expected to see. they should receive less or contribute more. brian, democrat in massachusetts. go ahead. caller: i was watching on the news that a country, don't kn

but despite the potential i've shown you for medicare savings from coordinating medicare-financed care, to date policymakers have focused overwhelmingly on states and medicaid rather than medicare as primarily responsible for improving care to dual eligibles. the absence of medicare leadership is particularly odd given that 80% of the dollars that are spent on dual eligibles, and you can see this in figure 7, 80% of the dollars spent on dual eligibles are federal dollars, more than 2/3 of which flow through the medicare program. to improve costs and reduce -- to improve care and reduce costs for medicare/medicaid beneficiaries, dual eligibles, along with the roughly equal number of medicare only beneficiaries who need long-term care, it is essential that medicare exert its leadership rather than simply shift responsibility to the states. and a major way they can do that, is as i've described, to give priority in delivery reform to people who need long-term care and to coordinating their long-term care as well as their medical services. thank you. >> thank you very much. dr. chernof? >>

what we need to with medicare, my mom is on medicare. i will never supported any changes to medicare that would negatively affect our or any one like her that is currently on the program. i do believe that people like me that are decades from retirement we're going to have accept in order to keep medicare has it stands for our parents and grand parents, our medicare, my generation's medicare is going to have to look different, especially if we wanted one. is that too much to ask of our generation. we need to drive that point home. >> sean: any time it's been attempted any responsible proposal is put forward. you know what happens. you watch this process unfold and the president does this with abandon. it seems that he'll say anything to hang on the nice house, nice plane and helicopter. one has to wonder, is the country ready -- we borrow 40 cents of every dollar. he says we're borrowing from the bank of china in the name of our kids and grandkids. >> people get what is happening. if you with went to the american people said, should we k

as we know it he is the only president to ever cut five hundred billion dollars from medicare. i thought president obama didn't cut five hundred billion dollars of medicare is that cut down on the waste fraud and abuse in medicare including stopping one hundred thirty six billion dollars in corporate welfare to private health insurance companies to administer medicare advantage programs and now thanks to that cut medicare advantage is actually running more efficiently covering more people with lower premiums so is this what we should expect from the republican nominee moving forward lies lies and more lies and why is the media doing its job in calling out these lies you know as mary joins me now he's the c.e.o. and host of the trooper america radio show out with more conscientious equity welcome back hey tom thanks for having me good to see the so republicans you know paul ryan they voted to end medicare as we know it why is romney accusing the president of that well first of all i mean this is all of his big distraction we should be talking about jobs but if we want to talk ab

but first, who is eligible for medicare? guest: medicare is eligible to u.s. citizens over the age of 65. it's a real entitlement program. it's age based. once you're 65, you can sign up for medicare. everyone gets involved with the hospital program. and then the other parts which deal with doctors and prescription drugs, you can sign up and pay a preep and get into that part too. host: carolyn from mississippi. you're up. caller: yes. i feel like we're just being suckered marine corps by our politicians -- more or less by our politicians. i have a three-pronged idea that i think could solve a will lot of our problems. we could put it into medicaid and social security. first of all the wealthiest of americans should pay their fair share. secondly, even you should not get more money back on your income tax than you pay in. and third, our churches are the biggest welfare recipients involved. everything their petitioners pay in is tax deductible. they don't pay taxes. they should pay their 10 fokt the federal government for the medicare and social security. it sh

with respect to medicare, mr. chairman, it is clear the challenge is to protect the medicare guarantee. this is what it's all about. is protecting the medicare guarantee since the days when i had a full head of hair and rugged good looks and was director of the senior citizens program. i've always seen this as sacred grounds. we know from the trustees that run the program in a decade we're not going to have the funds to ensure that that medicare guarantee is protected. once again, i think we have an opportunity to come together. i'm attracted to the concept of premium support. premium support is not something that has been rejected which is the concept of medicare vouchers. medicare vouchers are rejected because they're like coupons. you give somebody a coupon it doesn't keep up with their health care costs and that's clearly not acceptable. premium support which originated with democrats and now has been picked up by both democrats and republicans across the political spectrum is something very different. it is a

and one of the most important things we can do now is to preserve medicare -- to preserve medicare is to implement the affordable care act fully and effectively. more needs to be done and that is why the president has put forward a detailed plan to further reform and strengthen medicare. by the beginning of the next decade, this plan achieves the same amount of annual health care savings as the bipartisan plan proposed by simpson-bowles. the president's approach would lower costs by changing the way we pay for health care with new incentives for doctors and hospitals, eliminating excess subsidies to prescription drug companies and asking the very wealthiest of seniors to pay a little more. the president is also committed to keeping social security strong for future generations, particularly as more private employers move away from defined benefit plans. in his state of the union address last year the president outlined a set of principles for reform. these principles emphasize the importance of finding a bipartisan solution that strengthen social security and does not hurt current rec
