In North Carolina 463,159 seniors depend on Medicare Advantage plans (28% of all Medicare enrollees).


According to America’s Health Insurance Plans, in North Carolina, seniors on Medicare Advantage plans experienced cost increases and benefit cuts of an estimated $50-60 per month as a result of this year’s 6 percent cut to the program due to ObamaCare.

Maybe you should have read it before you voted it into law.

You’ve gotta be kidding me! They’re going to play dumb? Republicans/conservatives have been hammering the point that Medicare/Medicaid was going to get cut, but the media wouldn’t report that, and the administration denied it at every turn. They knew, and they boldly and unabashedly lied to the American people.

I hope there is no way they can escape their responsibility for this mess.

When is someone in the GOP going to point out that the whole purpose for getting rid of Medicare Advantage was to create a whole new version, sold by AARP and run by United Healthcare which are all SEIU employees.

This is why SEIU put it in Obamacare in the first place.
To unionize all future healthcare workers.

She’s a liar like the rest of the Rats. I remember this specific point being brought up leading up to the passage of the bill. There should be film footage somewhere of Obama addressing this issue. that would make a great campaign ad contrasted against her claiming ignorance.

The simplest of political strategies could turn these incumbents to dust. Two options, they lied and shouldn’t be re-elected, or they were to stupid to know and are too stupid to be re-elected. There is no defense.

This came out way before it was voted on and way before it was implemented.

if a politician cries foul for not knowing something that is out there for all to see, they must be REMOVED.

DUMB BUTT you should have read the bill before you voted it into law. It not only effects Medicare but Military health care too. These are older FR threads on the subject with not just the medicare but business impact. I gathered all of them and kept them, they lead into other so named threads with more articles on them.
