The Hill<\/a> posted an article yesterday about Robert Gibbs<\/a>‘ comments on Fox News Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Senior Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs defended the administration\u2019s record on Medicare<\/a> from GOP attacks on Sunday, saying that Rep. Paul Ryan<\/a> (R-Wis.) should \u201cthank President Obama<\/a>\u201d for strengthening the program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Obama took $716 billion out of Medicare and put it into Obamacare<\/a>. I fail to see how taking money out of anything strengthens it. Does this mean that if I refuse to pay my taxes to the Internal Revenue Service<\/a> I am strengthening the IRS? With Robert Gibbs’ logic, wouldn’t that be a good thing?<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Washington Examiner<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

And those health care provider cuts are not that far off under Obamacare. They start this coming January, when Medicare payments to doctors are set to be slashed by 31 percent. That\u2019s right, by 31 percent. If you don\u2019t think current Medicare beneficiaries are going to have trouble finding a doctor who will see them after the government starts paying those doctors 31 percent less, you probably failed Econ 101.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Obamacare was first drafted, it did not cut Medicare spending so quickly. But to keep the final Obamacare price tag under $1 trillion, it allowed the scheduled cuts to occur. By contrast, Ryan\u2019s Fiscal Year 2012 budget fully paid for doctor Medicare reimbursement payments<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any senior citizen who votes for President Obama in November needs to understand that they are voting against available medical care for senior citizens in the very near future.<\/p>\n
