The national debt threatens a Greek-style financial crisis. It makes no sense to fuel the spending fire with a new entitlement program, expand a sub-par Medicaid system, and rob $500 billion from Medicare without any fundamental reforms that will make it sustainable for future seniors. (Don't get your hopes up about the Independent Payment Advisory Board's ability to restrain Medicare costs. In practice, it can't do anything but cut reimbursements to doctors and hospitals and reduce access for seniors.)
