yeah, they keep touting it helping medicare (which is interesting, since every time you mention making changes to that part of entitlements it's not in trouble
) but don't wade into the rest of the story...that the savings in medicare don't cover the increased medicaid costs. so the money that wouldn't have to go in one pocket would go in the other-but would still not be enough to fill the bigger hole.
so yeah, they beat that drum-but it's far from the whole story.
