What is the difference between Medicare and Obamacare with a 100% govt subsidy? That seems to be the reason why the payments are going down. Kill Medicare and put everyone on Obamacare. No need for two programs.
Medicare is a government, single payer system while Obamacare is traditional, private insurance. Medicare Advantage is a kind of blend of the two - maybe a model for what we could consider going forward.

I actually think they need to care Medicaid, and then put those people on Medicare.
Have ONE department, to handle welfare for the citizens.
That might be a bit overstated, but it is clear that public opinion has shifted solidly in favor of keep/fix and not repeal. Republican leadership and most candidates are, per usual, out of touch with changing public views.
Yet, cuts to MA payments to insurance companies is exactly where the $700 million came from. Ocare was and is one big fraud.

Yes, and now it's under 12%, and likely to drop further in Q2.
18 months into the implementation of the individual mandate? Link?
100% is impossible with 11 million ineligible undocumented workers in our country. Your claim is a lie.
Yet you voted for it.....

"My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is that the amount of money you will spend on premiums will be less," Obama said. "If you are one of 45 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you will after this plan becomes law."
Which of course requires others to pick up the amount Medicare isnt covering, thereby increasing the cost on everyone else.
Wrong, private insurance carriers follow the same fee schedule as Medicare.
Your premium payments from private insurance have nothing
to do with Medicare payments. Actually it has everything to do with hijacked administrative
cost increases. That also includes folks on Tricare and Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) plans
which NEVER should have been put in the hands of private insurance companies.
Now, if we are talking the abuses of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) that is another story,
another fraud, another corruption linked to the Medicare Federal program....
