Medicare has become one of the most contentious issues in this fall’s election. But are either President Obama or Mitt Romney telling the whole truth to the American people about the problems facing this program? Does either candidate have a plan to deal with the looming crisis? And would Paul Ryan really end Medicare as we know it?

In this month’s e‑Briefing, Michael Tanner will cut through the heated campaign rhetoric to answer these questions and discuss the facts surrounding one of our country’s most costly entitlement programs.

This special online-only series is an opportunity to hear from Cato’s policy staff. Please note that it is not necessary to download any software to watch the briefing online; no reservation is necessary.

Our thanks for your continued support of the Cato Institute. We hope you’ll join in on the discussion.
