Political cowardice on Medicare and Social Security

Your comments on political cowardice on Social Security and Medicare are obviously true and have been for many years (Friday editorial).

A government that will soon lose the ability to cover the medical bills of those who have involuntarily paid Medicare taxes for 50 years should not promise to expand Medicare to everyone, which reveals contempt for everyone, but especially for those current depending on Medicare.
