The AARP has also collected some information from candidates, including this from Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Josh Mandel:
...How would you put Medicare on stronger financial ground and protect
today’s seniors and future retirees from the burden of rising health
costs?
| Sherrod C. Brown: Congress should stand up for Medicare and make it stronger. Cutting costs by cutting service helps no one. Instead, we should focus on innovative ways to reduce Medicare spending while ensuring that it can continue to meet the needs of Ohio seniors. Right now, the Department of Veterans Affairs can negotiate bulk discounts on prescription drugs for veterans, but Medicare can’t do the same for seniors. By giving the Secretary of Health and Human Services negotiating authority, we could save millions reducing Medicare cost by an estimated $20 Billon over the next ten years.

In order to save Medicare, we must change it. Saving Medicare will be a top priority of mine, as this important program represents a promise made by the government to the American people. We can reform it in a way that does not impact current recipients or those approaching Medicare-eligible age. (Source: League of Women Voters Questionnaire; http://ow.ly/ctaci) | |
So Josh Mandel wants to reform Medicare? How does that sit with you, Grandma?
