By now, it’s obvious that ObamaCare rips off seniors.

RATIONING ALREADY A REALITY FOR SENIORS
One way the Democrats “paid” for ObamaCare was syphoning $500 billion out of the Medicare program. The government will pay doctors and hospitals less for the medical treatment of seniors.
What does that have to do with rationing? Well, the inevitable effect of these lower payments is a decrease in the number of health care providers willing to accept Medicare patients.

ELDERLY & DISABLED TO PAY FOR OBAMACARE
For an English translation of ObamaCare, I recommend NCPA’s pamphlet: What Does Health Reform Mean for You? Among other things, it correctly points out that the costs of ”reform” will be disproportionately borne by Medicare patients (i.e. the elderly & disabled).

OBAMACARE CAUSES 22,000 SENIORS TO LOSE THEIR MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS
It has been written many times about ObamaCare’s cuts in the Medicare Advantage program and their inevitable result—-seniors being herded back to lower benefits of traditional Medicare. Here’s the latest chapter in that tawdry tale.....Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has notified customers that it will drop its Medicare Advantage health insurance program at the end of the year.
