The Ever-Changing Law
Play it again, Sam.
Stop us if you’ve heard this before: The White House has made a unilateral change to ObamaCare to help Democrats in the November elections. This time they’ve canceled the planned $200 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage that were meant to offset the cost for ObamaCare, the stated reason being that the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services says they don’t need the money thanks to an “increase in healthy beneficiaries under Medicare.” Imagine – people over 65 are suddenly becoming healthier as the 2014 election draws nearer. The CBO recently estimated that ObamaCare’s subsidies and other outlays will cost $2 trillion between 2015 and 2024. But hey, what trumps this year’s election?
