Equal Time with Martha Burk July 27, 2015 Medicare at 50 - Keep It or Cut It?
July 30 marks a very important anniversary in our modern political history. In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, creating two programs that would improve the lives of Americans, especially women. Fast forward to 2015, and both are very much under siege. Nowhere is the struggle starker than in competing budgets now on Capitol Hill.
