Anytime there is ever talk about reforming any Federal social insurance program, especially entitlements like Medicare, the New-Left in an outside of the Democratic Party (Cenk Uygur is both in and outside of the Democratic Party sometimes on the same day), they freak out about it. And call it Democratic or Republican attempts to gut the poor and elderly, as well as minorities, to soak the rich. Unless talk of reform is about expanding some current social insurance program and raising taxes to fund that expansion.

Anytime anyone on the Far-Left, again both in and outside of the Democratic Party, goes off on talk about reforming a program like Medicare, don't take that with a grain of salt, but year supply of potato chips worth of salt.
The left-wing in America (to be nice) simply can't admit that there are real issues with government social programs and that sometimes they actually need to be reformed. That sometimes government, especially politicians over promise and there becomes need to open up those programs to reforms in order to preserve them so they'll be there for people who really need them.
Having said all of this, the right-wing in America is obviously not innocent when it comes to scaring the hell out of people when it comes to the Democratic Party and programs like Medicare and Social Security. Just go back 2-3 years ago with the rising populist Tea Party movement in the Republican Party and their opposition the what became the Affordable Care Act. (Politely known as ObamaCare) So that's where I agree with the Cenk Uygur's of the world about the modern Republican Party.
