Health reform will save Medicare billions!

Read Time:55 Second

The new health overhaul law is starting to produce savings for Medicare and will eventually add more than a decade of solvency to the program’s trust fund, the Obama administration said in an upbeat report released today. Medicare will save about $8 billion by the end of next year, and as much as $575 billion over the rest of the decade, the report said. “This reflects the priority we put on acting quickly to secure Medicare’s future,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

“We are going to ensure that seniors and Americans with disabilities get more value when they go to the hospital or to see a doctor,” Sebelius added. Release of the analysis comes ahead of the official annual financial checkup for Social Security and Medicare from program trustees, due later this week.

Just get a drink in her and she’s a wild vixen. I’m just kidding–I’ve never met her.

Try selling those facts to the tea party, “don’t make health care better for me” crowd.
