Nonsense.

Medicare Advantage was passed by Bush W. during his "unfunded freebee giveaway of government money" and merely siphoned off healthy patients to the insurance companies. It is extraordinarily expensive and wasteful to the government.

The ACA provisions that reform Medicare Advantage - here is no "rape" of caregivers - that's absurd. It removes waste, fraud, duplication, and takes no benefits from the elderly. It encourages hospitals and doctors to work together and not waste money in treatment, duplication, etc., and it rewards hospitals, doctors and caregivers who save money and waste.

It extends the life of Medicare 8-12 years with the cost savings.

Wow - usually eliminating waste and fraud, lower costs, extending a programs life in the government earns thanks - not unwarranted attacks.

But the hate for this president is so strong, so ugly, that even when he does things conservatives and Republicans have long-supported and wanted, he's crucified for it. Then the right says the left calls him a Messiah. Unbelievable.
