ObamaCare Might Hurt Seniors After All

I wonder if Obama is going to crack-down on his own Health and Human Services Department which issued the report.

A report by economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department said the health care remake will achieve Obama's aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million Americans to the coverage rolls.

But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president's twin goal of controlling runaway costs. It also warned that Medicare cuts may be unrealistic and unsustainable, driving about 15 percent of hospitals into the red and "possibly jeopardizing access" to care for seniors.

Yup, so more people get to enter the system at the expense of seniors currently in the system. I'm sure Rahm's brother is firing up the "who qualifies for care" rationing machine as we speak. I'm sorry Ms. Retired woman you can't get that artificial hip because we need to make sure an illegal immigrant gets his cholesterol medicine first.

What is even worse is that ObamaCare messed with Medicare Advantage so seniors are stuck with this Medicare system no matter what. Now that is Change you can take right to the graveyard. I guess you can chalk this up to one brand new bumper-sticker quote: Obama hates old people!
