Our Publicly Funded Health Insurance Program: A forum on the future of Medicare
Could we lose Medicare? Is it running out of money? Or is it being depleted by the insurance industry and made to fail by opponents of public programs?
Could Medicare become the foundation of a truly universal high quality health care program for all Americans?
