Yeah, I didn't really understand that part either.
I posted mainly for -
"As a psychiatrist, I'll break the bad news gently: Medicare cuts are like Santa Claus and his flying reindeers - often talked about, never actually seen."
and
"Obamacare is built on a gimmick. The White House apparently believes America's grandmothers won't mind hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Medicare cuts if a committee of health-care bureaucrats is in charge, deflecting responsibility for ruthless decisions that politicians and doctors can't be trusted to make. In the Senate bill, the committee is called the Independent Medicare Advisory Board.
This strategy has already failed in Britain, where politicians desperate to tame rising health costs created a National Institute for Health and Clinical Effectiveness. Several NICE rulings to cut coverage for expensive treatments have since been challenged or reversed. And as a result, health inflation lives on in Britain, because their officials, just like ours, don't have the guts to tell millions of grandmothers to suffer just to balance a budget.
And so, supporters of Obama-care who think their plan is paid for with Medicare savings, beware. Don't worry about leaving the milk and cookies out: He's not coming, and neither are the cuts." |
