Blunt denies comments on Medicare, Carnahan posts the videos

They sparred most intensely over the issue of Medicare, with Carnahan accusing Blunt of suggesting it was a bad program.

"There's no one here listening who believes you are a protector of Medicare," Carnahan said, referring to a Blunt quote from early in the campaign where he said the country might have been better off if Medicare had never been implemented.

"I have never said that," Blunt said, moving from behind the podium and pointing directly at Carnahan.

At issue was Blunt's comment during a radio interview last year, when he said: "You could certainly argue that government should have never gotten in the health care business." http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/political-fix/article_cbb14af2-d7aa-11df-9431-0017a4a78c22.html
