they did a piece on how seniors currently get their medications at half-price and that repealing the affordable healthcare act would take that away.
when they asked a romney spokesperson, she said that Obama took 714 billion out of medicare and that seniors, even with the donut hole, will
be better off than on (Obamacare). the reporter then quoted fact check that Obama didn't rob medicare to pay for the AFC.
and that the spokesperson's statements were factually wrong.
i rail against the media a lot, but CNN got this one right.
kudos

All Medicare Advantage is is a scam designed to take advantage of those on Medicare.
