The proposal is to utilize the Medicare Advantage average cost; not the cost of the most expensive provider.....and not on a national basis, but for each market.

I have not seen any independent, objective analysis that this would result in a significant increase in patient costs, rather than a lower payment by the government to the insurance providers.

But if you rely on your partisan editorials and analysis, its all about fear and scaring seniors.

Maybe you missed the memo. A %21 cut in the program.

How can you complain about the cost being too high, and tax increases, then complain about cutting programs. Make up your mind. [/total tailpost]

I heard that repubicans support a bill that will deny any healthcare to anyone under 25, because they probably won't get sick anyway.

Yeah, and so what if they do? They haven't lived long enough to form any real ties and haven't had time to contribute much to society.

Cutting which programs specifically? I can complain about anything I want, including high costs, tax increases, and the cutting of programs. It depends on high costs on which things, who is gettting a tax increase, and which programs are going to be cut. Care to tell me what you think about any specific part of your broad generalizations you believe what I believe?
