Again... that all completely agrees with what i just said.
Medicare advantage is going to be cut, and some people are going to fall off it. This reduces quality.
Also yes... Medicare will in fact increase the number of people with insurance. Which I've stated.
Which means that there will be plenty more insured people for doctors to take. Which means much fewer medicare patients will be accepted.
Which means... reduced quality of care as people are forced to use emergency rooms.
Nevermind the fact that a lot of hospitals in poorer areas run on losses.
What they're trying to argue is it won't cut benefits... as in, what's offered by medicare. Which it won't, while ignoring the fact that it will effect the quality of what is offered.
Want a good example of why it will?

Edit: Article on it since you probably don't have a membership.
Point being... don't let party affiliation blind you from actual issues. It's why Obama gets to be so neo-conservative yet run as a liberal.
