Obama Admin Is Using A Program To Buy The Election By Hiding Cuts To Medicare?

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa has threatened to subpoena the Department of Health and Human Services if it does not turn over documents by Thursday on a program he claims is being used to “buy” the election by hiding the effects of ObamaCare.   Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, made his demands in a letter late Wednesday to Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

His office effectively is accusing the department of stringing them along in their months-old request for documents about an $8 billion program that pays bonuses to Medicare Advantage plans.

Issa claims the bonus program is being used to mask the first round of Medicare Advantage cuts in connection with the health care overhaul — in order to win favor with seniors. He said in a recent letter that “the only plausible explanation” for the program is that it’s being used as a “temporary bandage” to cover up cuts, “realizing the political danger” of those cuts in an election year.   The program in question is called a “demonstration” project. But Issa’s office complains the project is far more sweeping than a run-of-the-mill test program, and conveniently lasts until 2014.

JUAN WILLIAMS GETS EDUCATED ON MEDICARE CUTS BY OBAMA VIA CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER

Juan (KOOL-AID DRINKING) Williams argues that the $716M 'savings' stolen from Medicare by Obama, in order to help fund Obamacare, was a savings because it "put Medicare into a new structure so you have a reduced rate of growth".   He goes on to argue that "it is not taken out of the current Medicare funds and, in that reduced rate of growth, there are more benefits, you close the doughnut hole...there are all sorts of benefits for America's seniors, including a guarantee that you still get the services, care, medical attention that you currently have under the current system. That does not exist in the Ryan plan."

Krauthammer: "The CBO says and Medicare actuary say that if you implemented the cuts, that is in Obamacare for Medicare,  it will so reduce the payment to hospitals and doctors who treat elderly patients, THAT 1/6th OF ALL HOSPITALS WILL GO BUST and they won't be available. And doctors who are now reluctant to actually treat elderly, because of how low the payments already are are going to say no altogether.  There'll be no services at all. 

It's a huge real cut. It's going to affect the elderly and the money is placed in insuring the uninsured in Obamacare. THAT'S A FACT."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the 'new structure of reduced growth', as the Obama administration wants to call it, really means 'DEATH PANELS'.  

The Democrats way to insure a reduced rate of growth is to kill off the elderly population via cuts to services and reimbursements to caregivers. Then they will blame the 'greedy doctors'. 

Juan Williams needs to wake up.  He just doesn't get it.  He just can't bring himself to believe that his president is a complete fraud and liar that will say ANYTHING to hide the truth.  

Sadly, with Obama's government owned media, the kool-aid drinking crowd won't realize this until it affects them.

Maybe he ought to watch this clip from 2010 where Obama admits that he lied and deceived the public on his pledge.  You know the pledge.......  The one where he says, "If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor.  Period!"  "If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan.  Period!"  In this clip, he admits that, "some of the provisions that got "SNUCK IN" uhhhhhhhhh, MMIGHT HAVE VIOLATED THAT PLEDGE!"

Snuck in my ass.  That bill was already put together by the Center For American Progress and his other Soros funded, tax-payer assisted, anti-American, freedom-hating think tanks.
