Maybe not immediately. But if I understand correctly, Obamacare will rob Medicare, shrinking payments to doctors who will probably refuse Medicare patients. Eventually older folks will face the not-so-tender mercies of the IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board.)
With Reid's Senate "nuclear option" rule change we can be certain that appointments to the IPAB will result in the "death panel" that Palin warned of. I'm not putting much faith in Medicare.
Because Im a Rich Republican, I expect to be able to make up for whatever shortfalls Medicare has in the future, even if it means going offshore to accomplish it.
Good. Let Medicare collapse along with Obamacare.
Under 0bama, isn’t Medicare becoming the new Medicaid? (Less quality of coverage and/or limited pool of docs?)
