As Medicare turns 50 today, I’m pleased to report that new bipartisan reforms will make the program more sustainable for current and future generations.
Because of these reforms, seniors will be able to count on Medicare and continue to see their doctors. And taxpayers will save some $2.9 trillion over the long term.
This was the first entitlement reform in nearly two decades. While we’ve got a long way to go, this is progress. And it’s another example of how we’re getting things done for the American people.
Medicare At 50

And those reforms are …? Not much substance here. Pretty much a waste of bandwidth.
+Frank Elkins disgusting liberals like you only know how to name call without substance. You are just wasting my time. Reported for violating the TOS.
Obamacare brought down the cost of medical services/products. That’s what is saving medicare.

So…..what are the reforms you speak of? Where can one find this bipartisan agreement? Thank you for your time and response.
+Ben Smith The bill passed, apparently, in March, but Boehner is taking credit today. If there was any Republican messaging strategy there would be one-pagers synopsizing the bill — assuming it really was a good thing.
This is success when you have sold out on everything else that you promised to do? repeal or defund Obamacare? Defund Presidential amnesty? Hold IRS accountable? Investigate Benghazi? Pretty small beer compared with the mandate you were given.
The Criminal Michelle Obama conspiracy
There is a conspiracy led by the Criminal Michelle Obama to lock me in Saudi Arabia with elderly women from Saudi Arabia & the United States or lock me with her prostitution company
I have already elected for marriage the most beautiful girls who I love & I demand to meet them not, meet this evil elderly women or go to the Criminal Michelle Obama prostitution company
Note
I have banned from entering the UN building in Saudi Arabia to raise lawsuit against her with her husband Barack Obama & against the terrorist some of the Saudi royal family, at the International Court of Justice
And I don’t know why the United States General Attorney Loretta Lynch does not arrest her after the recent investigation, she involved in killing my brother Moufarrej & still exist as huge threat for me & my family
I see mr Bowner at least is beginning to recognize, the benefits of these programs, especially to the less fortunate, not everyone makes the members of the houses,salaries, nor do they take bag ?,
Mr Boehner are you scared of Obummer? If not why don’t you let bills go threw I didn’t know you were Keen to Reed
The Insurance companies want Medicare preserved. They do not want to provide insurance to people who are at high risk and not profitable to cover. So my guess is Speaker Boehner is happy because the health insurance industry that heavily supports his election campaign funding is happy.
Tell us Bourbon, you drunk, orange, fool: WHY would you want to play golf with a Muslim-centric, anti-Semitic, despotic, Imperial, dictator? Because you are EXACTLY LIKE HIM!
You and your cowardly, traitorous fools like marble-mouth McConnell have given our despotic, Imperial, dictator EVERYTHING he’s wanted! Every bit of it. What difference is there between YOU and when Dingy Harry controlled KONgress? NOTHING! Dingy Harry and Plastic Pelosi could do no finer a job of giving our despotic, Imperial, dictator EVERYTHING he wanted!
You and marble-mouth McConnell are traitors to BOTH the good sheeple that elected you AND their children/grandchildren. You are truly spineless, cowardly and shameful!
