Ezra Klein talks to some government officials:

The Obama administration believes that the entitlement problem is a health care entitlement problem, and the health care entitlement problem is a health care system problem. And so the focus now is on health care reform: The fiscal responsibility summit will be used, in part, to make this argument. In Obama's Washington, a plan to cut Social Security is no longer enough to qualify you as "fiscally responsible." You need an answer to the Medicare and Medicaid questions, which means you need an answer to the health care system.
