We have to maintain the current Medicare program for everyone who is now aged 55 and older, without any cut in benefits. For those 54 and younger, we need to redesign Medicare for the 21st century by considering a "premium subsidy option" comparable to the options that currently exist for Medicare Part D. That will ensure that the Medicare program stays viable throughout this century. Health care savings accounts may be an important part of guaranteeing adequate healthcare in retirement.
