The fact is that if Congress were to do what they said they would to "pay for" the legislation, YOU would LOSE your Medicare Advantage plan. THAT is a fact. Nobody's opinion.

Of course, we knew going in that they wouldn't pay for it. Charles Krauthammer, a genius if ever there was one, pointed out at the time that it is silly to think for a minute that some as yet unnamed future congress is going to have the guts to cut your Medicare Advantage when the bunch of weak ninnies who passed this legislation didn't have the guts to do it.

The reality is we got an unfunded mandate on states to cover 20 million more people on Medicaid, plus $500 Billion in new debt for the federal share of that bill plus other failures to raise the needed funds.

In the end, if the bill stands, we're talking many, many trillions.

We told you so.
