Schiff Town Hall - Medicare Benefits Preserved but Costs Controlled

Audience Questions: A number of written questions concerned Medicare, as one sign at the meeting claimed, "No Medicare for Granny." Leeba Lessin, of CareMore for seniors, discusses Medicare reforms. Dr. Chu, of Kaiser, discusses payments for best outcomes rather than fees for service. Dr. Hensel discusses cost controls; and Dr. Kaufman, cost controls for children's health care.

They tried but they couldn't shout down or shut down this meeting, like they did back East. Really, I pity them: They are being misled by the bigshots who know better but, to protect their wealth, feed their followers a pack of lies.

Nice of the lowbrow neocon rabble to try and shout down the speaker. Go team Tard.
