Choosing the Nation’s Fiscal Future
Courage to break promises that we can’t afford to keep
AUTHOR: John Palmer and Rudy Penner, Co-Chairs, Committee on the Fiscal Future of the United States

Unfortunately, the health reform debate has focused more on creating a new health entitlement program and less on responsible actions to make the current spending paths of Medicare and Medicaid sustainable in the long term.
