MEDICARE
TRUTH ELUDES ANOTHER INEPT PALM BEACH POST “JOURNALIST”

| ANESTHESIA UNDER OBAMACARE |
Friday, August 24, 2012,
The Palm Beach Post ran a front-page story by Laura Green entitled “Medicare Truth Eludes Both Sides”. As
usual the report is a mess, a piece that is so unintelligible that it will
drive any reader with a functioning brain cell to either laugh or cry at the poor
state of professional journalism.
Ms.
Green concluded that both Obama’s claims and Romney’s claims, concerning their
opponents Medicare plan, are false. This is what Laura Green reported.
“ROMNEY’S
CLAIM:
President
Obama robbed Medicare of $716 billion and cut seniors benefits to pay for the
Affordable Care Act.”
Ms. Green says that Romney’s claim is false and
then explains Obama’s actual plan as follows:
“Obama’s Plan:
*Essentially,
is the Affordable Care Plan” (Obamacare)
*“
Savings: $716 billion mainly from cuts to doctors, hospitals; crackdown
on fraud.”
*Where
the money goes: To pay for provisions of law”
*”Affects:
Doctors, hospitals, other providers now.”
Green
refutes Romney’s claim that Obama robbed Medicare of $716 billion to pay for the
Affordable Care Act by saying that “Obama’s
Plan Essentially, IS the Affordable Care Act.” What The Hell? She just affirmed what Romney claimed!
The insanity
continued. To refute Romney’s claim that
Obamacare cuts current benefits to seniors, Ms. Green reported that the $716
billion taken from Medicare would come from cuts to the payments made to
doctors, hospitals and other providers now. What The Hell? She just did it again! She admits that the $716 billion
that Obama took from Medicare health providers will pay for “provisions of law”(Obamacare).
In other words Ms Green reports that $716 billion of your Medicare funds will be
taken from your doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and care providers and given to lawyers, accountants, IRS agents, auditors and administrators of his monstrous healthcare plan!

Is
it possible that this woman is so stupid that she thinks that by not paying
healthcare providers our benefits and services will be unaffected? That’s
beyond belief! Current seniors are guaranteed to experience lower quality,
reduced medical services and long waiting times thanks to Obamacare and his
raid on the Medicare fund!
If
Ms. Green is not simply advancing propaganda for the Democrat Party she must live in
a make-believe world, not the real world where actions have consequences. In
Green’s utopian world, cutting payments would have no consequence on service:
1) Your
boss might call a meeting and announce that the company’s downsizing. He
assures the workers that no jobs or health benefits will be cut but that the
company will simply no longer pay salaries or insurance premiums.
2) You tell your kids they can use the cell
phone as often as they please but you only pay for 10 minutes. When they
complain, you tell them you are not cutting phone benefits you are simply
reducing the payment to Verizon.
3) To appease the angry children you take them
to the state fair and announce that they have permission to ride as much as they
wish; but then you hand them each two ride tickets. When they protest because each
ride requires at least 3 tickets, you tell them that you are not cutting privileges or
benefits, your simply reducing payments to the Carnies.
Can the Democrats be so stupid that they
actually believe that after cutting payments to Medicare healthcare providers
our healthcare services will be unaffected? Maybe they will cure people
with magic pixie-dust
Finally,
Ms. Green reported that Obamacare will “affect providers now”.
Worse
than her unbelievable and laughable analysis of Obamacare, she told
blatant lies denigrating Romney’s plan. Ms. Green wrote the following about
Romney’s plan; “Affects: People over 55-65 the most.” That is a lie. Romney’s
plan keeps Medicare unchanged for people over 54 yrs old.
Mitt
Romney’s plan explicitly guarantees that the reformed program must offer at least the same benefits that Medicare does today.
And the reforms would only affect those younger than 55. People under 55 will get a choice of plans similar to what members of congress receive.
To
Ms. Green’s credit, she debunks the Democrat lie that the Romney’s plan will
increase cost to seniors by $6,400. She correctly reported that the cost increase provision
was part of Paul Ryan’s original plan, not Romney’s current plan.
Under
the Romney and Wyden-Ryan plans, seniors would not pay anything extra to gain
access to the benefits they now enjoy. The
CBO estimated a $6,400 cost increase for an out-of-date and different plan that
Paul Ryan proposed in 2011.
The Obama campaign is
running a Mediscare television ad repeating the $6,400 cost increase Mediscare lie
to scare seniors. Even Ms. Green reported that “PolitiFact” has dubbed Obama’s Mediscare
commercial it’s “LIE OF THE CENTURY”.
Without reform
Medicare will fail. Mitt Romney has the solution to save Medicare. We need the
leadership of an astute businessman who is able to work with the opposition and
get things done, not divide our nation. Mitt Romney is that man.
Surely
the Democrats working at the Palm Beach Post will endorse Obama and his failed
administration. The federal government can never be large enough or too
intrusive for the mainstream media leftwing nut cases that pretend to be journalists.
“Why the Palm Beach Post Sucks” officially
endorses the Romney-Ryan ticket in the 2012 election.
THAT’S WHY THE PALM
BEACH POST SUCKS!
