Social Security and Medicare are the most precious and successful social programs in America's history.


If you don't think so, just look what happens to politicians who try to mess with them. They aren't called the "third rail" of American politics for nothing.


Try to screw around with them and the "grey panthers" rise up and smite the politician down to soot.


Having said that, Medicare and Medicaid have serious funding problems. That's why we need serious health care reform, as proposed by Edwards, Clinton, and Obama. And unlike anything proposed by any of the GOP candidates.
