One thing I don't get.

"Obama's budget calls for setting aside $634 billion over the next 10 years as a down payment on health care reform. Half the money would come from tax increases on upper-income earners; the other half from cuts to Medicare and Medicaid."

How does cutting Medicare and Medicaid improve health care access, health care quality, and the cost of it?
