Why do the opponents not understand the facts?

"As we have written many times, the law does not slash the current Medicare budget by $500 billion. Rather, that’s a $500 billion reduction in the future growth of Medicare over 10 years, or about a 7 percent reduction in growth over the decade. In other words, Medicare spending would continue to rise, just not as much. The law stipulates that guaranteed Medicare benefits won’t be reduced, and it adds some new benefits, such as improved coverage for pharmaceuticals.


Medicare Advantage Plans need to be cut. When they started, they were less expensive than regular medicare, but now they've become more expensive. Why should people in MA plans get free prescription drugs, free eye glasses, free dental, free gym memberships, etc. There are some plans that even pay for your transportation to and from doctor visits.


These MA plans have become big business. If they want to stay in business, they need to cut their services and cut their prices.
