Repeal of Obamacare Imposes $1000.00 Annual Medicare Increase On Seniors


1.) Obamacare cuts Medicare costs by $716 billion. The repeal of Obamacare returns this $716 billion savings to the National Debt - nearly a trillion dollars.  If Romney-Ryan refuse to "sign off" on a remarkably efficient way to cut a trillion dollars from the national healthcare burden -- not to mention Romney's plan to increase defense spending whereas Obama plans to cut defense spending -- where, exactly, does Romney plan to make cuts? ... Other than revenue-reducing tax cuts for the wealthy... Remember: It is not in "the nature" of The Democratic Party to cut social services. Yet Obama cut a "trillion dollars" of "Medicare pork" and his "tax-and-spend" party approved. How do American conservatives account for this? How do Republicans account for AARP's approval of Obamacare? https://tomprice.house.gov/press-release/why-aarp-supporting-collapse-medicare

2.) The repeal of Obamacare re-opens the "donut hole," immediately adding $600.00 to a typical senior's Medicare drug cost. The following "fact check" puts the new figure at $768.00 annually - 28% more than the $600.00 figure mentioned in the first Obama-Romney debate. http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/04/politics/fact-check-senior-drugs-costs/index.html

3.) Because seniors' annual contribution to the cost of Medicare depends on the overall amount of money spent by Medicare, the additional $716 billion dollar sum that Romney would re-add to the nation's healthcare budget will be shouldered by seniors. Estimates of this shared annual cost vary but reach $600.00 by 2021. "Health and Human Services estimates that Medicare beneficiaries paid $94 less out-of-pocket for hospital and doctor coverage this year than they would have without the health-care law. That number will rise to $572 in 2021 as the Medicare cuts grow larger." http://www.classwarfareexists.com/study-repealing-obamacare-would-increase-premiums-for-current-seniors-immediately/#axzz28QwN7ZQZ
