It has already been explained to you, but you insist on playing dumb. So let me try again.and of course the obligatory all is well don't worry, we are just 'shuffling timelines'.
GAO report
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has laid bare the Obama administration’s effort to delay the impact of Medicare cuts in the health care law until after the 2012 election.
Under the new law, cuts to Medicare Advantage funding would force many seniors off their preferred health plans. This aspect of the law was originally intended to go into effect before the election in November, but fearing the political backlash, the administration launched an $8.35 billion “demonstration project” that would effectively delay the cuts until after the election.
The GAO report urged the administration to cancel the project, citing its numerous “design shortcomings” and noting that the program fails to “conform to the principles of budget neutrality,” meaning the $8.35 billion is not offset by spending cuts or other revenue, and will have to be borrowed.

So you're telling us that Romney will put the Medicare money that Obamacare 'cut' back into Medicare,
and NOT CUT MEDICARE AT ALL?
How do you save money doing that? lol
what post are you addressing?
anyway, heres one for you heres one for you, why is ryan vilified for a plan that you say defunds medicare BUT, Obama isn't?
Obama does not defund Medicare like Lyin' Ryan does.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that the Medicare provisions in the health care law would save $700 billion over a decade and extend the life of Medicare. Obama's cuts don’t target beneficiaries, like Lyin' Ryan's do. Obama's cuts come largely in the form of reduced payments to hospitals, discounts on Medicaid prescription drugs, and pay cuts to private insurers under Medicare Advantage. Those savings are then used to extend the life of Medicare.
Lyin' Ryan also cuts $700 billion from Medicare, but rather than use those cuts to extend Medicare, Lyin' Ryan steals the money from Medicare to pay for tax cuts for capital gains tycoons. Obama leaves the savings in Medicare, Lyin' Ryan loots his cuts to Medicare, taking them out of Medicare and giving them to his cronies.
Get it????
