The Washington Post's Ruth Marcus has a column today on Social Security and fixing it.

The column's more or less in response to this Paul Krugman column where he objects to addressing Social Security's projected shortfall now.

If Marcus believes Social Security needs fixing, fine. But she should then devote far more columns to projected health care costs, which is an even bigger problem and demands greater effort to solve it, yet policymakers aren't really paying attention to it. This is what CBO basically recommends.
