Dems’ Medicare Lie Why granny should be afraid

By: Betsy McCaughey

Betsy McCaughey is a former lieutenant governor of New York and author of  The Obama Health Law: What It Says and How to Overturn It.



  • President Obama is criss-crossing the country, warning that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would “end Medicare as we know it.” Attention, New York’s 3 million seniors: Don’t be fooled. It’s the Obama health law that destroyed Medicare, though the impact will not be felt for another year or more.
  • ObamaCare cuts future funding for Medicare by over half a trillion dollars in the next 10 years. Most cuts are made by slashing what hospitals, physicians, hospice care and dialysis centers will be paid.
  • Last year, Richard Foster, chief actuary for Medicare, warned Congress that seniors will have difficulty finding doctors and institutions to accept Medicare.
  • Cutting hospital payment rates has been tried before, with deadly results. 
  • When partisans for ObamaCare say cutting hospital payments will not impact care, don’t believe it.
  • The election should not turn on the lie that Obama will protect Medicare as we’ve known it. Unless the Obama health law is repealed, seniors will have difficulty getting the care they need, and some will die sooner.
I found out about this webpage from listening to the Mark Levin show.  Thank goodness for that.

Just think of it.  The big lie is being used to expand upon the Democrats power.  They will step all over anybody on the way towards their goal.
