Lower-income seniors and those with greater health risks would receive more financial support, while wealthier seniors would receive less.

"Lower income" and "wealthier" mean totally different things, further than apples and oranges. I wish he would be more specific. Will seniors be expected to spend most or all of their savings before Medicare support kicks in? In that case, it becomes just another form of welfare, like Medicaid.

Under the president’s health care law, Medicare’s reimbursement rates will drop well below what Medicaid pays doctors.

If that's the case, hello Socialism. No one can hope to survive as an independent practitioner. May as well put everyone in healthcare including docs on a government salary, and call it a day.
