Actually, it did exist under Bush, and he made it worse by introducing the prescription meds for retirees entitlements. He did, however, try to make minimal reforms to medicare/medicaid, but it got blocked by Congress (I believe it included changing some of the variables to reduce increases, and include greater private support... but don't quote me on those).
