America's President Cannot Be Trusted to Speak the Truth

Obamacare "raided” $300 billion for Medicare Advantage and seniors will begin feeling the cuts next year, according to a December 2013 analysis by the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, which states that Obamacare took $700 billion from Medicare and $300 billion from Medicare Advantage for its own funding. The Subcommittee report reveals that cuts to Medicare Advantage beneficiaries will “begin to be fully realized in the next year." But the Obama administration made a promise to seniors. The promise was that "we’re going to use your Medicare dollars as a piggy bank to fund the Affordable Care Act, and in doing that we’ll improve Medicare and allow seniors to keep their doctors," - if they like them. Is this another Obamacare broken promise? "Yes," according to Subcommittee vice chairman Representative Michael Burgess. American Action Forum president Doug Holtz-Eakin said in a statement : “Those most hurt by the cuts are low-income seniors in rural areas without other options for supplemental Medicare coverage. Additional scheduled cuts in the future will broaden the damage to Medicare Advantage.” Twenty-eight percent of Medicare beneficiaries were enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans in 2013. Following up on this latest broken Obamacare promise of President Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, GOP Florida Governor Rick Scott cited these proposed cuts in Medicare Advantage plans, saying the Obama administration is raiding Medicare to pay for Obamacare. Scott made his comments in Washington last weekend while attending the National Governors Association meeting, where Scott and other governors met with President Barack Obama. In a press release Monday, Scott said he had asked Obama "to fix Obamacare immediately." Scott added : "We learned last week that Medicare is being raided to pay for Obamacare, which is hurting our seniors, who could lose access to the doctors they liked and were told they could keep,....We need to give our seniors a voice and ask the President directly to not pay for Obamacare by raiding Medicare. He has stopped and delayed other broken parts of the healthcare law. He should do the same with this," the Scort news release said. Appearing Tuesday on Fox News Channel's "Your World With Neil Cavuto," Governor Scott said 300,000 Floridians have lost health plans they were promised they could keep, and now senior citizens, a significant part of the state's population, are telling him they can't find a doctor who accepts Medicare. "It's totally different from what our citizens were promised," Scott said. Cavuto noted that several of Scott's fellow governors said during the weekend conference that Obamacare isn't going to be repealed, so it is up to them to find ways to make it work. "Well, it should happen," Scott replied. "This president's not going to do it, but somebody's got to fix this." ~~~~~ Dear readers, another Obama broken promise - a lie deliberately told to Americans in order to make them swallow the bitter pill that is Obamacare. And a lie told to the oldest, most vulnerable group of Americans, citizens who worked all their lives to keep America great. Can no one stop this Obama trainwreck that is destroying the fabric of America? Is there not one member of Congress, House or Senate, who is willing to stand up and be counted on the side of America, putting America above any personal agenda? Karl Marx was wrong -- religion is not the last refuge of scoundrels. Washington is. Where, oh where, are the Articles of Impeachment? Is there an unspoken understanding between the American electorate and the GOP members of Congress that Impeachment will follow if November's election returns a Senate with a GOP majority? America cannot wait much longer to deal with this most un-American presidency in its history. The one phrase that summarizes President Obama is - "if you like it, you can keep it" - consistently followed by lies and broken promises that have caused the majority of Americans to become unable to believe anything Barack Obama says. Consider for a moment the unprecedented horror of this state of affairs...America has a President who cannot be trusted to speak the truth.
