According to the Congressional Budget Office, Obamacare will cost at least $938 billion over the next decade. So here's the big question: Who is going to pay for it? The answer is ... drum roll please ... senior citizens.
As it turns out, more than half this bill will be covered through cuts in Medicare spending.
Medicare affects an enormous portion of the population. In 2008, it covered more than 45 million Americans. Roughly 38 million of them were 65 or older. The other 7 million were disabled.
All told, the president's health care bill will cut Medicare by $575 billion over 10 years, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Seniors and the disabled are going to see their costs rise and their quality of care suffer.
Medicare is an expensive program, and it could certainly benefit from some streamlining. In fact, Medicare fraud has grown into a $60 billion-a-year business.
But the legislation does virtually nothing to curtail fraud. Instead, it takes a slash-and-burn approach. Most troubling, the legislation attacks Medicare Advantage, the one aspect of Medicare that's working particularly well.

But, but.....AARP said is was sooooo good!!!!(sic)
Many of the American idol worshiping adults who voted for the Milli Vanilli president currently residing in the white house, condemned Grandma and Grandpa to death and don’t even know it.
Some knew it, didn’t care, and cheered. Have you seen the video from Robert Reich?

The ‘catch’ here is that, not only are there going to be a lot of seniors, but they vote fairly reliably. If Medicare is actually cut, doctors and hospitals will be forced to stop accepting Medicare patients. Congress will not let that happen, so the projected reductions of Medicare spending being used to ‘explain’ how Obamacare will be paid for will not happen. The cost of Obamacare will actually be paid for by printing money, i.e. by destroying our economy and inflation that will make that in the 60’s look like nothing.
Pelosi, Reid, and Hussein intend a genocide of the elderly and the disabled in my opinion.
Are y’all gonna miss me?
Godwin’s law aside,
Hitler used their “national healthcare system” to justify the disposal of “useless eaters”, starting with the infirm, the elderly, the disabled, the “retarded”,
then moved on to his political enemies.
The left would love nothing more than to “cull” the “ungovernable” within our society.
Print this article, then the next time AARP sends you something they want you to buy, stick this article in their enclosed post paid envelope and mail it back.
Great idea!!! I always write “you lie” on the paper and mail it back in their postage paid envelope. This will work even better.

AARP is just a propaganda outlet for obama. They are really running an intensive propaganda campaign on television as it seems every other ad is about how great the aarp is for seniors. Grrrrr spit
Yep, and anyone I know that has AARP, I suggest they get rid of it quickly!!
they already are...and all the social services in place to help them are failing.
And they do NOTHING! No matter how much money is cut from this program, the fraud will continue.
Obamacare is an exquisite example of destroying a whole industry in order to make things better for a handful of citizens.
It is lousy legislation, and unless you’ve read the bill, God only knows what in it.
At best, this monster must be repealed; and if not repealed, unfunded.
Elimination of political enemies and the elderly, IMO, is their first goal. The Hussein/Reid/Pelosi “camps” are their Hospice Centers where you will shipped to following your trial by Hussein’s Death Panels. These Hospice Camps are the brainchild of the RATs in Congress. There is blood on the hands of every Yes vote in Congress for this genocide.
