Schiff Town Hall - Benefits of Reform, as in Social Security & Medicare

Audience Question: We've been focused so much on the costs, but what are the long-term benefits of reform? Rep. Schiff points to insuring millions of uninsured, to slowing the unaffordable rise in costs for those who are insured and for the nation as a whole, and to decreasing the number of people dropped from insurance. He says the status quo is unsustainable; we need reform. Schiff praises the courage and foresight of his predecessors for advancing Social Security and Medicare, and hopes we have courage and foresight, too.
