565. More SS Trust Money to Disappear

In addition to losses to the SS Trust Fund dollars, I just learned on the Greta Van Susteren show that OBlunder is taking ANOTHER $8.3B out of the trust fund to partially negate his Obamacare destruction of Medicare Advantage programs. This move is totally political! Obamacare was going to remove 1/3 of the subsidizing of Medicare Advantage to meet its goal of taking $500B from SS. His latest move, which was done without any other approval, gives money back to the Advantage program so those seniors who choose a program during the open selection period -- October-December -- AND BEFORE the presidential election will not see any changes for the coming YEAR! After that, its back to the Obamacare program, except the $8.3B taken OUT of the trust will be GONE. This exasperates what was discussed in post #564 and hurts all those NOT currently on Medicare. OBlunder has pulled the mirrors and smoke out of his closets. Please clear the smoke and look behind the mirrors when you vote.
