New Obamacare Cuts to Seniors’ Health Care Plans
February 21, 2014
‘Today, it is America’s seniors who are feeling the brunt of Obamacare’s tax increases and cuts to Medicare. And while some Senate Democrats may now have second thoughts, these are the same Democrats who voted to impose these cuts on seniors in the first place—and when given a second chance, actually voted to keep the cuts in place.’
LOUISVILLE, KY—Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell today released the following statement after the Obama Administration announced new cuts to Medicare Advantage, which will make it even harder for America’s seniors to keep their health plans and doctors under Obamacare:
“Nearly every week we hear about another group of Americans harmed by Obamacare – whether it’s people losing their plans, paying higher premiums, or confronting an uncaring bureaucracy. Today, it is America’s seniors who are feeling the brunt of Obamacare’s tax increases and cuts to Medicare. And while some Senate Democrats may now have second thoughts, these are the same Democrats who voted to impose these cuts on seniors in the first place—and when given a second chance, actually voted to keep the cuts in place. The best solution would be to recognize Obamacare for the historic mistake that it is, repeal it, and replace it with commonsense reforms that will protect America’s seniors and families from the seemingly never-ending consequences of this terrible law.”
