ELECTION 2012 - House Races and Medicare

"Medicare is Battle Cry for Both Sides in Tight House Races in Fla., N.Y." PBS Newshour 10/11/2012

Excerpt

SUMMARY: In our new Battleground Dispatches series, Todd Zwillich of Public Radio International's "The Takeaway" reports from Florida and New York, where Medicare is not only a hot topic in the general election, but crucial to clinching some close congressional races.

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Tonight's debate might be the biggest stage yet for Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, but the budget plan that bears his name has been a central topic in congressional races around the country.

Special correspondent Todd Zwillich of Public Radio International's "The Takeaway" reports on three such races in Florida and New York.

It's part of a new collaboration between the "NewsHour" and public media partners across the country. We will be bringing you reports from areas that will likely dictate the outcome of the election in a series we call Battleground Dispatches.
