White House admits: ObamaCare to raise seniors’ health-care costs, reduce benefits

This headline from the state-run, Obama-approved, liberal sycophantic suck ups at The Politico says plenty: Medicare actuary: Reform will cost some seniors. There's no white-washing this news.

A Medicare official concedes that seniors may have to dig deeper into their wallets next year thanks to the health care law.

The new analysis obtained by POLITICO finds the health care overhaul will result in increased out-of-pocket costs for seniors on Medicare Advantage plans.

What did you all think? You pull $500 billion from the program and things will go south. And it's not just any Medicare official. It's the actuary:

Richard Foster, the actuary for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, also tells Senate Republicans that the overhaul will result in "less generous benefit packages" for Medicare Advantage plans next year. ...

...Republicans say dramatic changes to the program mean some seniors won't be able to keep their plans – a promise President Barack Obama made during the reform debate – and the GOP has made the issue part of its attempt to roll back the health law.

11 million senors take advantage of the program. Maybe AARP can explain to seniors why they helped push the unconstitutional boondoggle through. This adds to the bad news for seniors: ObamaCare: Doctors refusing new Medicare patients because of low government reimbursement setting a new high. The AARP supported ObamaCare so they could stuff their coffers with money from seniors purchasing supplemental insurance that AARP sells. The AARP is no longer the organization it was once was. It is now just another appendage of the liberal movement. Like the NOW and its attacking Sarah Paling, and the NAACP attacking Clarence Thomas, AARP no longer complies with its stated purpose. Should this health care boondoggle pass, no group will be more negatively affected than seniors. Yet here is the AARP snubbing their own membership to help push this through anyway. In fact, here's a video I posted before of AARP leadership walking out of a meeting when the membership brought up health care: (Video: AARP walks out on its own members when questions about health care legislation are brought up!)
