<<<< Now we know that Obama's healthcare bill is so in debt to itself, that it cannot afford to treat seniors fairly. Heck, they are going to die, anyway, right?
According to the AMAC:
On January 1, 2014, ObamaCare cut nearly $22 billion
from Medicare home health care over four years. That means an estimated 3.5
million poor and ill homebound senior citizens woke up on New Year's Day to
discover that ObamaCare had slashed funding for their home health care program.
Last year, Medicare home health services were delivered to approximately 3.5
million Medicare beneficiaries. According to the federal government's own data,
these seniors are older, poorer and sicker than the Medicare beneficiary
population as whole. Many of these seniors also reside in rural communities,
where home health care is especially important because other sources of
treatment are often located many miles away. Obama's cuts $22 billion from Medicare. Remember when he accused the evil Romney of cutting $500 million out of Medicare. Seniors do not count, under ObamaCare. Here is proof.
But wait, there's more: according to the Obama Administration's own statistics,
"approximately 40 percent" of all providers of home health services
face net losses as a result of this Medicare cut. Put more plainly, 4-in-10 of
all the providers on whom homebound seniors depend face the threat of
bankruptcy and closure as a result of ObamaCare. That's 5,000 home health care
companies and 500,000 jobs wiped out in order to pay for ObamaCare.
