Also, I did a cursory search and cannot find a source but I do remember clearly that Ms Tyson as Clinton's top economic adviser pushed for a "one time" expropriation of 15 percent of all private retirement funds, the money would be used to help the inner cities among other things. IIRC, that particular episode of Clintonian fascist greed was also flogged heavily by another of Clinton's Fantasy Island 'economists', [a towering figure in his own mind,] Robert Reisch[schschsch], known to his friends as Tentpeg.

A clinton re-tread, teeing up the next ceaucescu in a dress hillary clinton. Yup! Another commie loser jockeying for position in the 2016 Hillary Clinton regime.

The outlook has already improved as a result of significant changes in the delivery and payment of health care services in the Affordable Care Act. As a result of these changes, growth in Medicare spending per enrollee is projected to slow to 3.1 percent a year during the next decade, Take half a trillion dollars away from Medicare in the Obamacare shell game and suddenly Medicare costs less. At least until doctors refuse to take Medicare patients because of unacceptably low reimbursement rates.

The outlook improved because they closed their eyes.

When FRs post what is essentially propaganda. Questioning who the author is and the medium used is the point of my posting.Rather than just rendering a opinion. That background fill in offers legitimate counter punching by FR reviewers if in the course of human events the topic and its author comes up in any conversation ...thus adding value of FR’s.

translation: They are screwing the doctors with lower payments.
The result will be fewer doctors willing to see the elderly of course...especially since the paperwork required to get paid costs almost as much as one is reimbursed...and to do a good evaluation of the elderly takes a lot more time, but if you bill for the time you spent, you can be jailed for fraud/overbilling.
