No if defense cuts happen under this scenario medicare gets slashed automatically. This is a two-edged sword.
Do you know what happens when Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement gets cut? The Providers pass that cost on to those of us who have health insurance (e.g., the PAYING customers). Why do you think health insurance premiums consistently go up by double digits each year? The “responsible citizen” always pays. As such, its a backdoor tax.
Jeeze...didn’t think I’d have to explain this to YOU, Darth!
Rush talked about this, it will be a cut to health care providers. They will have to raise costs and cut coverage. Then the hope is to have the public asking for and running to Obamacare
This debt bill really stinks, they caved.
