The Senate plan purports to achieve $483 billion in Medicare savings over the next 10 years, including $118 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage plans, a program favored by Republicans that distributes Medicare benefits through private providers.

If Medicare Advantage is so favored by Republicans then why is the only part of the country exempt from Medicare Advantage cuts is in a very heavily Democrat area of Floriduh? Medicare Advantage is favored by lots of folks.
