Krugman on Possible Medicare Cuts

Is there any good news anywhere? The Nobelist speaks.

The crucial thing to remember, when we talk about Medicare, is that our goal isn’t, or at least shouldn’t be, defined in terms of some arbitrary number. Our goal should be, instead, to give Americans the health care they need at a price the country can afford. And throwing Americans in their mid-60s off Medicare moves us away from that goal, not toward it.

I like what you cited. I think that should be the first thing that the President should consider. It's not about the numbers.
