On Wednesday, physicians who now serve in the House and Senate gathered to discuss the political battle over Medicare reform. Republicans are rallying behind the Ryan plan for the most part, but what is the Obama plan? What did Obama actually tell House Republicans about this debate? How can any debt ceiling deal be reached when only one side has an entitlement reform plan? How is Medicare already being changed because of Obamacare? And how suddenly will a fully bankrupt Medicare collapse on America’s seniors? We discuss all these questions with Louisiana Rep. John Fleming, a longtime physician.
