Everyone needs to start calling it what it is:

DEATH PANELS FOR BABY-BOOMERS !

Every day and every way, get the word out.

No telepromter got him in trouble again.

Roomey needs to hire some people om FR its to easy to slam Obama

I agree with that. Interestingly, the matter of the IPAB (Medicare Independent Payment Advisory Board) is still a matter of ObamaTaxCare that can still be heard by the SCOTUS. Arguments were put aside until it was known the results of the SCOTUS ruling on the mandate.

Repeat repeat and repeat, but also inform. Below is a short background that needs repeating

The PPACA IPAB is a federal body whose existence is perpetual unless Congress repeals its enabling legislation by 2017.

The IPAB is comprised of fifteen members appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Beginning in 2013, the IPAB will be charged with making cuts to Medicare if the Medicare per-capita spending growth rate exceeds a targeted rate of spending growth.

In January of each year, the IPAB will propose cuts to Congress and the President. Debate on the proposals will be limited to no more than thirty hours. If, by August, Congress does not pass legislation achieving the required reductions in Medicare spending, the IPAB recommendations will automatically go into effect. No administrative or judicial review of IPAB decisions will be permitted.

Congress has only one opportunity to repeal the IPAB: it must introduce a Joint Resolution to dissolve the IPAB by February 2017. This resolution must pass both Houses, with a three-fifths supermajority, by August 2017. If these hurdles are cleared, the IPAB would be abolished in 2020.
