“Opponents of health reform spin the facts to claim the ACA “cuts $716 billion from Medicare” while failing to mention that the law does what many of the politicians say they want: Preserve the existing program while finding savings from insurers and providers, extending the solvency of Medicare, and giving new benefits to seniors. So when you hear that the new law ‘cuts,’ ‘robs,’ or otherwise harms Medicare, remember that the truth is the law expands the program’s benefits, doesn’t force seniors to pay more, and actually saves taxpayers over $100 billion.”
