That money goes to seniors, closing the Rx drug benefit donut hole is a benefit (about $600 per year) many seniors have already felt from that provision in the ACA.

But it also does what I listed. The Medicare changes are only a small part of the financing, not the major part of what the ACA does and achieves.

Again: it does not solve them completely, of course, but the ACA absolutely addresses and improves - in addition to the the Medicare improvement you mentioned:

Cost control
Premium price control
Medication costs
Health care improvements by access improvement
Funding of CDC and scientific initiatives
Massive cutting of fraud and waste in Medicare/Medicaid
Funding for private practitioners (increased numbers)
Changing payments to doctors for better outcomes, not more testing.
Coordination between health care teams.
Medical records improvements.

And on and on. You can click on healthcare.gov to read and educate yourself.

You are so factually ill-informed on this it's astounding in this age of the internet. Surely it must be deliberate?

What providers agreed to it? What does that even mean? You are the one who is ill-informed. Obamacare not only pays doctors much less for treating seniors, it also penalizes hospitals that treat large amounts of seniors. Obamacare is designed to kill the elderly to coverup for all the inefficiencies, higher costs, and the less quality care (who in their right mind would become a doctor today) that will come with Obamacare.

Yeah, the government's own website on Obamacare is real credible. Sorry Riot, I don't swallow Obama's lies like you do. You should really do some independent research, you may actually learn something.
