Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Thirty-nine million elderly Americans depend on Medicare to help pay their health care expenses but, like Social Security, the well will run dry unless the program is reformed. A panel of experts joins Kojo to discuss why this year’s efforts of the bipartisan Medicare Reform Commission failed and what Congress and President Clinton plan to do about it.
