Romney is STILL spreading the lie about Obama cutting Medicare by 716 Billion to pay for Obamacare?
That's because it's not a lie. It's a fact, supported by the actual legislation itself, which any American can go read if they want to wade through the 2,000 pages to find it. It is worded in such a way that Nancy Pelosi idiots of the world, can twist into a "savings" that is to be realized from the glory and wonder of Obamacare, but the money is being physically taken out of Medicare to pay for Obamacare, plain and simple. We already know, since we now see because we passed it, Nancy, that what is in Obamacare spells disaster for Medicare patients. Doctors and hospitals will simply start refusing to accept them, and if you try to force them, will close down. Obamacare mandates cuts in the amount Medicare pays for various services, but these already-established services and prices are on the low end of the physician's ability to do as it is. If you cut the rate paid, they can't perform the services anymore. Romney conservatively said 25%, but I've heard as high as 60% of the physicians who say they will either stop taking Medicare patients or take down their shingles. The "scheme" won't work, by which this supposed "savings" is going to transpire, and the result will be the complete loss of 716 billion, if not MORE, Medicare dollars.
Spin that whatever way you like to American voters, that is the "fact checked" truth of the matter.
