Returning Medicare to solid footing represents our greatest entitlement challenge.... Like Social Security, Medicare is currently being rocked by the swelling numbers of baby-boomer retirees.... [However] the rising cost of health care adds just as much to the weight of the Medicare burden as does the age wave.... So it is healthcare itself that must be brought under control if we are to keep our Medicare bills from overwhelming the next generation. (Mitt Romney)
