On Medicare, I have long advocated abolishing it entirely and replacing it with 100% federal funding of healthcare for minors. Poor oldsters can qualify for Medicaid along with everyone else.

Despite the increase in the uninsured, most of "everyone else" is covered by employer-sponsored group healthcare so equating oldsters with the general, non-Medicare eligible population is not really possible.
I'm kind of OK with getting rid of Medicare and expanding the fuck out of Medicaid because really, I think that everyone should have to spend down their assets before they die anyway. To hell with this inheritance thing. No transferring money to the kids to qualify for Medicaid, either. Clawbacks, baby.
