number one: grandma's medicare is going to pay for it. the bills and the president's own plan, which we've yet to see the details of, propose -- quote -- "medicare savings," nice words for "medicare cuts." if there really is a $5 billio00 billion savings to be found in medicare, we should use it to keep medicare solvent because the trustees of medicare say we are now spending at such a rapid rate that we'll run out of money for medicare by 2017. we should not use medicare cuts to pay for a new medicare -- to pay for a new government program. we should use any medicare savings to make medicare stronger. now, the second way to pay the bill -- for these bills that we've been seeing in the house and senate -- is to shift the cost to the states. this is done by expanding the medicaid program, which is the largest government-run program we have today. almost 60 million americans, low-income americans, have their health care from the medicaid program, which is paid for -- about 60% by the federal government and about 40% by the states. the plans
