We don't need to tear Medicare down and I don't think that's been suggested (except by Paul Ryan and Grover Norquist) , but there is waste and inefficiency in the system now that needs to be addressed, so that this program, one of the things that makes our country truly great, remains sustainable.
The problem specifically here isn't so much Medicare reimbursement rates, which are similar across hospitals, it's what everybody else is paying and whether that is fair and reasonable.
