No. 2 Senate Democrat: ‘I Don’t Disagree With Paul Ryan ... Reduce the Costs of Medicare’ | CNSnews.com: "(CNSNews.com) - Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D.-Ill.), who is the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.), praised Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) willingness to work on entitlement reform, saying on the Senate floor Wednesday, “I don’t disagree with Paul Ryan saying we have got to look honestly at Medicare.”

In this context, Durbin pointed to what he described as a need to 'reduce the costs' of the program.

“If we don’t touch Medicare, in about 10 or 12 years it goes broke and we can’t let that happen. So we have to look at Medicare in a sensible way to reduce the costs of Medicare,” Durbin said."
