Question: What policies would you support to make Medicare more affordable?

Murphy: Father's parents are still alive, but drugs costing more every year; need to make sure it's affordable for everyone. How do we do that? Again, must reform Medicare and get uninsured into system because it's a huge drain on the system. Uninsured roll the dice to see if they need medical treatment and when they do, it's for the system.

Again, need to drive costs down by opening prescription drug market.

Tedisco: AARP has it right: Divided we fail. Must come together in a non-partisan way. Must digitize records; hospitals should provide error rates; bulk prescription drugs available in international markets.

Must allow people more affordable access to their prescriptions as they get sicker and conditions become more chronic.
