Brady Disputes White House Claims on ObamaCare Impact on Seniors
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON DC What the President is not telling our seniors is that
after the November election 100s of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicare will land squarely on their backs -- forcing millions of elderly out of their Medicare Advantage plans raising their medicine prices and making it harder to get treated at a local hospital or nursing home said Cong. Kevin Brady a senior member of the House Committee on Ways & Means.
Brady yesterday called out the White House on their claim Monday that Medicare and the nations elderly will save money from the presidents new health care law.
The Administration is using this report to highlight the new health laws seemingly positive effects on Medicare prior to 2016.
This is an election year so all this is timed to happen after seniors go to the polls in November. For the elderly this is a terribly cynical political ploy said Brady.
Testifying at a recent House Ways & Means Committee White House officials acknowledged that less than five percent of over $500 billion in cuts to Medicare mandated by ObamaCare have taken place.
The White House is trying to hide the pain that ObamaCare will cause to seniors and to Medicare. Once the temporary election-year bonus program ends our seniors will be hurt hard Brady said.
The Health & Human Services agency has admitted theyve handed out an extra $7 billion to senior programs in advance of the November elections to delay the cuts that will come next year.
