The conservative 60 Plus Association is running a TV ad saying Congress plans to pay for overhauling health care "by cutting $500 billion from Medicare."

It claims that this "will mean long waits for care" and cuts to MRIs and other imaging services, that "seniors may lose their own doctors" and that "government, not doctors, will decide if older patients are worth the cost."

Actually, the House leadership’s version of the health care bill would trim a net total of only $219 billion from the projected growth of Medicare spending over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Congress isn’t proposing to cut benefit levels or to deny treatment to anyone who is "not worth the cost."

Man, that former Cigna exec who was making the talk show rounds wasn't joking when he said the health insurance companies had been planning for years to stop any reform from happening!
This is just the latest display of blatant propaganda!
 
No shit, sherlock! And Reaganomics was SUCH a booming success for the economy (as long as you were not in the economic group that was waiting for the trickle down, that is). :rolleyes:
Yes it was a success. Wasn't it the longest peace time period of high economic growth?
