With health care costs rising, seniors face a double-digit percentage increase in Medicare premiums for the second year in a row. By 2020 — two decades before the Social Security insolvency date — Medicare will go bankrupt. Even some conservatives recognize the disconnect of the administration's single-minded focus on Social Security."
