Joe Biden is Getting Ready to Cut Your Medicare Benefits

[Lord Long Rod]

What’s with this “may be” stuff? If they don’t know, what are they talking about? It sounds made up with Medicare-for-all being much more likely.

Read the fucking article, dipshit.

Read the fucking article, dipshit.

Don’t have time to waste on obvious fascist propaganda.

It's another Dem REDISTRIBUTION scheme.

What do you think Medicare is?

They forced you to purchase a plan? Medicare Advantage offers people more vs regular Medicare.

...at taxpayer expense. The taxpayers are overpaying Medicare Advantage insurers.

Translation didn’t help.

Actually it offers less but it’s cheaper

Why are you complaining about what Obama did. He has been president since 2016.

Obamacare was passed in 2009/2010 and I haven’t fix this yet? Why are you still blaming Obama for this?

He took from the poor to get his shit passed Congress otherwise known as lied his ass off

 

[bigrebnc1775]

In one of the all-time great policy successes, Obamacare’s Medicare reforms extended the life of the program and added benefits while simultaneously halting 45 straight years of real per beneficiary Medicare cost growth (which, astonishingly, hasn’t grown since).

Obama lied his ass off

Read the fucking article, dipshit.

Sounds like he did. It’s a PROPOSED increase of 3%

 

[Lord Long Rod]

He didn’t.

Nah, Obama saved Medicare.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Nah, Obama saved Medicare.

He took money from Medicare

 

[Greenbeard]

He took money from Medicare

He's saved it (and the taxpayers) trillions of dollars since 2010.

 

[konradv]

Medicare for all!

 

[bigrebnc1775]

No he didn't
Medicare Won’t Have Enough Money to Pay Full Benefits After 2031: Report.
Medicare trustees say the Part A program will begin running deficits again in 2025, drawing down the trust fund until it depletes in 2031. After that date, the program would not be bringing in enough money to fully pay out Part A benefits.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Medicare for all!

Yep until it wasn't true

Good argument for stopping $80+ billion each year in extra payments to private Medicare Advantage insurers for the same care! See OP.

Biden Admin May Be Setting Stage for Medicare Cuts

redstate.com

Remember the tv commercial where Paul Ryan wheeled grandma to the edge of a cliff and then pushed her over? That is what Joe is about to do to all you Medicare recipients. Of course, it is not really Joe doing it. It is Joe's policy hacks. Joes does not know what day of the week it is.

Useless eaters will not be tolerated

And again he did not save it but took from it.

 

[Greenbeard]

And again he did not save it but took from it.

Sure he did. When the ACA passed the trust fund was on track for depletion by 2016. And yet here we are in 2024, with Medicare beneficiaries getting better care, with more benefits, and at the same real per beneficiary costs as they did a decade and a half ago.

Huge success story. It'll be even better if we stop overpaying Medicare Advantage insurers.
