...do a search for "Medicare Cuts under Obamacare", scheduled to take place in January if he's re-elected ?

it's not enough just to listen to words, is it ? Shouldn't we be doing some research as to what's really going on behind the scenes, instead of relying on talking points not facts - to formulate opinions ?

It's already happened, though. Obama cut $500 billion or so to fund Obamacare.



Absolutely, ask the people currently depending on those programs. Senior's medical costs have gone up every year since they were forced into networks in 2010 (preparing for Obamacare). Likewise, children on Medicaid have just been forced into networks over this summer. For seniors, or children, if your doctor or medication isn't in the network, tough luck.



Do not limit research to the internet, talk to people in your community.

None of my doctors are happy with it, and my primary care physician has already accepted a position that does not deal with patients.



Medicare is already turning down requests for payment for some very necessary tests and treatments. I had to receive a C-125 test and payment made out of pocket, as well as other various tests: total is around $500. And obamacare hasn't even kicked in yet.

Yes, considering physican payments are scheduled to be cut 31%. Doctors will be dropping Medicare patients in droves. LOL!

What do you mean if he's elected? Don't you mean in November WHEN he is elected
