President Joe Biden’s administration announced that it would cut Medicare Advantage, after the president has frequently claimed that Republicans want to slash Medicare and Social Security.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced this week that they would cut Medicare Advantage by 1.12 percent in 2024, which is not as significant a cut as what the administration proposed two months ago.
Bloomberg reported: The agency will also phase in controversial changes that determine payments based on the severity of patients’ health problems. That policy will take effect over three years instead of one year, after the proposal drew fierce criticism from the industry.

What a two faced @$%@#!! It wasn't that long ago, the midterms, that he was repeating the lie that Republicans were going after Medicare and Social Security. At the same time this administration is overspending on woke nonsense and devaluing the dollar.

Lie after deflection after lie! Biden has been, is and always will be a pathological liar! Just wait until he goes to federalize private retirement accounts! Along with Congress, this bunch will turn private retirement accounts into a Ponzi scheme just like they did with Social Security!

This proves that everything the demonrats raise hell about Republicans doing is because they do what they accuse Republicans of doing.

That lying sob, whatever he accuses Republicans of doing he is doing or has plans to do it. He is now messing with a whole lot of folks who do reliably vote, and I hope to God they see thru this piece of trash. He is giving the people of this country the middle finger everyday, from giving our hard earned entitlements, social security and medicare to illegals he has rolled out the red carpet for, to proping up other countries that he is getting kickbacks from, namely the Ukraine and who knows what he is giving China in return for money paid to his crime family. This fool has sold out the American people, has trampled on our irights and now is going to make sure those who depend on Medicare and SS have an even tougher time just to live. He needs to be jailed and a firing squad is too good for him. FJB, his family and all Dems who support and enable him.

Seniors like to believe that receiving social security and medicare is merely being paid back with their own money. The fact is, depending on longevity, we are paid back far more than we ever paid in. The programs have never been funded properly and right now are unsustainable. Having said that, these are benefits that most seniors are completely dependent on due to corrupt, incompetent nanny state government. That’s why it is politically untouchable. Biden’s handlers have just blown up any chance he would actually be re-elected.

There would be plenty of money to pay for Social Security and Medicare if our Government would quit handing Billions to other countries. Time to take a hard look where every Penny goes. I would bet we wouldn't have to take away the Income of Seniors or their Health Care Coverage. By the way, Thousands in the Community I live in have Medicare Advantage (including me). We love it!

'determine payments based on the severity of patients’ health problems.'
So do the people with more severe health problems pay more or less?
Shall I strive to maintain good health and pay a penalty for my good health?

Biden has already decreased the value of cash and saving by 10%. Everyday there is more things being denied to the middle class. Lightbulbs coming, gas stoves. The washing machines, dishwashers don't work. The EV's are worthless trash. Everything is more expensive: food, electricity, housing, medical care. Biden cuts Medicare Advantage, after increasing the costs of maintaining a person's health by his policies. BTW, I have paid into ss and medicare for over 50 years, am still working. I am not going to get back what I paid in.

Here it is...I've been wondering why the commercials on cable tv were so numerous and intense...asking US to call and switch coverage....remember what President Reagan said..."if the government says..."we're here to help...run the other way"....only goes to prove...stay with what you know and always run away from the government ruling....big Pharma owns the biden ruling elite and covid shows US that.....

Social Security was founded on the idea that people would PAY IN MUCH MORE than they would ever get back of their own money. At the time of it inception, people only lived an average of 67 years. Now people are living longer, well into their 70's and in some cases 80's.
Like insurance, it is a pyramid scheme with more people paying in than who eceive benefits. At least with multi-level marketing there can be a way for it to work if there are products and services which do no gyp the participants.
The pyramid means that if a spouse dies, the survivor can get something back while they are alive, but when they die, there is NO WAY to pass on the benefits to the survivors. One strange part of that is it the husband had had 10 wives before passing, each wife would get paid the survivor's benefit....The rest of the money paid into the system that is not paid out is swallowed up by the system.
Now with ILLEGAL ALIENS getting it who have NOT PAID INTO THE SYSTEM, the collapse is getting here sooner than anticipated. If THEY pay into the system, it may last longer. There always have to be a smaller number getting the benefits than the base who pay in.
W Bush wanted to try to fix the inevitable pitfalls ahead but the Dems claimed it was sacred and THEIR duty and that THEY would do it. Solvency is only guaranteed at about 70% when the system fails, and then MONEY will be printed at an ever growing rate-- and the more money printed, the more USELESS if becomes in value and when a dollar has no value, it will increasingly become like Germany before WWII.
Just think how much more expensive the same items have become in the last two years, and you will see a premonition of things to come. Prepare now not to depend on the government while there is still time.

This war was lost the very moment that healthcare services were somehow elevated to a human right.
Healthcare and medicine are SERVICES, plain and simple. If you pay for insurance then you are paying for a future service as a member of a pool of insureds. But NOBODY has a moral right to demand services that they do not pay for.

Re #18 - Actually the first recipient of Social Security was:
On January 31, 1940, the first monthly retirement check was issued to Ida May Fuller of Ludlow, Vermont, in the amount of $22.54. Miss Fuller, a Legal Secretary, retired in November 1939. She started collecting benefits in January 1940 at age 65 and lived to be 100 years old, dying in 1975.
Ida May Fuller worked for three years under the Social Security program. The accumulated taxes on her salary during those three years was a total of $24.75. Her initial monthly check was $22.54. During her lifetime she collected a total of $22,888.92 in Social Security benefits.

Don't forget to blame Obama who started all this with ObamaCare where if you wanted your
doctor, you could keep your doctor. If you liked your Health Care Plan, you could keep your
health care plan. And you would save $2500 a year with Obama's health care plan for a
family. Ha! Another Government, Obama Lie!
Medicare Advantage is a slap in the face of those who want to push everyone into ObamaCare.
This plan greatly helps the elderly, especially those with their medical costs that surely will go up with
the elimination of this plan. These evil people even want to bankrupt the elderly who are on a
pension.
These Commies want to bankrupt our country with higher medical costs and turn it into another Communist country
like Russia or China with social credits that will only favor those obeying the regime.

This is a dodge so the govt can screw with you and use the 1.12 cut as their excuse why you can't get coverage or assistance. Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend's wife was dead wrong about this also.
By the way, have you looked in to the new ''fednow'' program which allows Old White Joe and all the rest of govt to grab all your money whenever they want to. Is the the scam where they tell us we will ''like it?''
