According to the new website Politico, House Speaker Paul Ryan wants the upcoming Congress to not only repeal Obamacare, but also dramatically change Medicare from a guaranteed government program into a form of private insurance. Here to talk with us about the future of Medicare are two people who are experts on Medicare: Dan Adcock,  Director of government relations and policy at the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, and Phillip Moeller, author of Get Whats Yours for Medicare: Maximize Your Coverage, Minimize Your Costs and retirement advice columnist for Money magazine.
