In a perfect world, Congress would do a top-to-bottom redesign of Medicare. That won’t happen, but lawmakers can’t continue to look the other way while one of the most important—and most popular—federal program gradually collapses.”     LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform: Policy schizophrenia: a whole column about what’s wrong with Medicare from a guy
