What does Medicare have to do with state budgets?

I guess you got me there.

But in the larger scheme of thing it is all our money and whether it is the Fed of State that takes it from us it is our money.

And the Medicare and Social Security will take down the Federal Government while Medicaid takes down the States.

Is any current mainstream candidate advocating doing away with Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid? I really doubt it.
