medicare last ten times.that it only takes one moment with a political window opens and for medicare that was just one election 1964 electing lyndon johnson and democratic majorities in congress. the next year medicare was passed. now half a century later, whenever any of us meet a patient over 65 we know they have health insurance and how the healthcare they can need. that's a lasting legacy. we are in a similar moment with medicare for all. a lot of momentum has been built the last four or five years. the stars are not completely aligned right now. but is not the time to start one - - stop working for this. is time to do organizing and building of the movement. nobody can predict when the opportunity will come. but when it does to make healthcare a human right, everybody needs to be ready. the work that needs to be done, people start wherever they are in their own lives. doctors, business owners, doing that kind of movement building so people are ready when the opportunity does come. >> i love ending on the

like medicare. we raised four children and over the years we cap jobs that the pay was not as good because the benefits were there and we needed them for our family. if we had a public option and we could've purchased that ourselves on our own, we would've been able to move from job to job. second of all, we would not have had to had our employers throw wages, instead of benefits, interfaces. it would've allowed us so much more flexibility and still keep our children and family insured. so i am all for a public option buy-in. granted, there are different levels. there's medicare, and if you want, you have to buy supplemental. i'm sure that many elderly cannot afford that. but i'm all for a buy-in for the medicare option. host: this survey was done by the kaiser family foundation and this was a poll taken in 2020, but they found that a national health plan, sometimes called medicare for all, in which all americans would get health insurance from a single government plan, 20% said they opposed, and in

on the medicare advantage issue. i am a huge advocate for medicare advantage. i think it is one of the best working pieces of medicare. we should do all we can to take advantage of it. during the covid 19, cms provided to care advantage plans with additional flux abilities, such as expanding telehealth. providing beneficiaries with devices to use telehealth and remote patient monitoring. we found things that really works. how would you worked -- how would you work with stakeholders and congress to continue the certain enhancements and flex buildings? why do we have to stop this when the pandemics ends? could you respond to that? >> absolutely. this pandemic has given us an opportunity to take the lessons across a variety of issues in telehealth, and it has been something that has been discussed for more than a decade and now we've been able to see what the value it brings is. my brother is a psychologist. he has been able to see more patients during a difficult time as a result of it. i really want to work with all of you to look at what cms's admission rate of

medicare does not. the framework for reform has been developed by senators frisk and bro and congressman thomas. now is the time to act. medicare must be modernized. and we must make sure that every senior on medicare can choose a health care plan that offers prescription drugs. [applause] so many years from now, the baby boom generation will begin to claim social security benefits. everyone in this chamber knows that social security is not prepared to fully fund their retirement. and we only have a couple of years to get prepared. without reform, this country one day awakened to a stark choice -- either drastic rise and payroll taxes, or a radical cut in retirement benefits. there is a better way. this spring, i will form a presidential commission to reform social security. the commission will make a direct inundations by next fall. reform should be based on these principles. it must reserve the benefits of all current retirees and those nearing retirement. it must return social security to sound finan

it has protected social security and medicare. and our surpluses are big enough that there is still money left over. many of you have talked about the need to pay down our national debt. i listened and i agree. we owe it to our children and grandchildren to act now. and i hope you will join me to pay down two trillion dollars in debt during the next 10 years. at the end of those 10 years, we will have paid down all the debt. that is available to retire. that is more debt repaid more quickly than has ever been repaid by any nation at any time in history. we should also prepare for the unexpected. for the uncertainties of the future we should approach our nation's budget as any prudent family would. with a contingency fund for emergencies or additional spending needs. for example after a strategic review we may need to increase defense spending. we may need to increase spending for our farmers or additional money to reform medicare. so my budget sets aside almost a trillion dollars. over 10 years for additional needs that is one tri

guest: usually we hear that medicare is the 800 pound gorilla, which means when medicare sets a rate something, the private insurers tend to follow. because medicare is such a big player in the market. it is interesting to hear that it could in fact be the other way around, and when the private insurers are setting a rate, the government has to follow. that's intriguing to me. host: do you have a follow-up? caller: yes, for medicare, they do rule the rates, but we have thousands of people in my state that are not medicare eligible, they are not even medicaid eligible, and that is where the leverage happens. so people who are under that age, they can leverage whatever they want. guest: i see. well, that makes sense. host: sheryl gay stolberg is a correspondent for the new york times. follow her on twitter @ sherylnyt. guest: there you go. host: thank >> c-span is your unfiltered view of government. created by america's cable television companies in 1979. today, brought to you by these television companies who provide c-span viewers as a public service. >> white house chief of staff ta

host: will there be changes, any changes to social security or medicare benefits? guest: great question. so, the proposal that was released last week by the white house is a discretionary funding request, it just involves money, simply it is money for federal agencies. discretionary spending is a third of the federal budget, it does not touch programs that are categorized as mandatory funding, like medicare, medicaid, social security. we expect to see in more fuller budget request from the white house in terms of what they would like to do there. certainly, there is pressure from advocates and folks across the country to make investments in social security that will ensure the program's sustainability. the program is facing challenges in terms of insolvency in the coming years, in the near future, and some would argue that the pandemic has made that worse. so it will be interesting to see what they propose were social security and programs like medicare and medicaid. host: the cabinet this week will begin going to capitol hill to testify. one will testify before th
