Obama isn't for killing medicare. You've been lied to. The 716 billion isn't cutting money from benefits. The cuts are being made on the provider/hospital side to curb waste, fraud and abuse in the program.

Which you know... is just going to lead to doctors and hosptials refusing to take anymore medicare patients.
Heck with the flood of newly forced insured patients, they'd be crazy to do so.
Essentially it's going to be near impossible to find a medicare doctor... and when you do... they will probably suck.

Or alternatively...it will cut down on waste, fraud and abuse. Like it's been designed to.

Except... it isn't... designed to do so.
All it mostly does is just... cut paymets blanketly across all hosptials... with zero cost-benefit analysis about what hosptials have fraud/waste/abuse.
It does nothing to combat fraud and abuse.
Argueably it combats waste, by removing the benefits for people with medicare to get better private insurances. Though that as well leads to a reduction in quality of care.
If you want to actually explain how it cuts these things though... feel free.
