Believe it or not, there are actually good cuts to Medicare jeff47 Feb 2013 #7

If it's not a cut to benefits then it's not a cut. LiberalFighter Feb 2013 #8

Those are cuts to benefits jeff47 Feb 2013 #9

Wrong. The patient still gets the bandaid, so there's no cut to the benefit, just the cost. Scuba Feb 2013 #15

Benefits are measured by their cost. The patient is receiving $99 less. jeff47 Feb 2013 #21

How is it a cut if the patient still receives the exact or better care? LiberalFighter Feb 2013 #18

Because $1 is less than $100. jeff47 Feb 2013 #20
