“President Obama robbed $716 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare – and seniors around the country will pay the price. In Florida alone, Obamacare cuts nearly $45 billion in Medicare payments, jeopardizing benefits and reducing access to care. Our nation’s seniors deserve better. As president, Mitt Romney will restore President Obama’s Medicare cuts and work to preserve and strengthen the program for future generations.” – Andrea Saul, Romney Campaign Spokesperson.

<..> According To A Study From The University Of Minnesota, Florida Will Lose$44,395,960,000 In Medicare Payments Between 2013-2022 Due To President Obama’s Medicare Cuts.(Robert A. Book and Michael Ramlet, “What Is The Regional Impact Of The Medicare Fee-For-Service And Medicare Advantage Payment Reductions,” University Of Minnesota, 9/12)
