You do realize that Obiecare stole almost a trillion bucks from Medicare to pay for Medicaid?
This NYT hit piece is nothing more than liberal fantasy. No facts to back it. The whole article is nothing more than a commentary with no facts to back up it statement. I have lost even more respect for the NYT.

It’s an old claim and an old figure. The law does reduce Medicare spending, but not in the way Huckabee, and others suggest. The Affordable Care Act aims to cut future Medicare costs by reducing payments to private insurers and hospitals, not beneficiaries, though this could indirectly squeeze beneficiaries.
And, speaking of "may, might, could, possibly" those are the same words involved with people who claim that money was "stolen" from Medicare for Medicaid. Hmmm, the irony of your claim is overwhelming.....
