the cuts to medicare were ALL the tea party rallies wanted to talk about !!!
In fact I actually lost a lot of interest in the Tea Party after attending several rallies once I realized most of the people there were just made about the cuts to medicare!
For a Democrat or ANYONE to claim they didn't know there were cuts to medicare in Obamacare is a flat out lie.
To me it was an issue of hypocrisy about those cuts happening that angered me, while the left said republicans would be the ones cutting medicare, and the people who would love coverage and be forced into a worse system. As we saw it happened to more than just people on Medicare advantage that lost their plans. The left wants the system to collapse. I was mad for many reasons at Obamacare when it passed and still am.
