About half of ObamaCare is being funded by cuts in MediCare – and about half of that is supposed to come from eliminating waste & fraud.
Yeah, right.
It’ll be fun watching the the MediCare chief report to GOP interrogators on his progress.
But, I’m still betting under on this one.
From the Christian Science Monitor …
Oversight hearings will begin in the GOP-run House in January.
One of the first oversight hearings will likely probe how the Obama administration intends to attain $500 billion in cuts to Medicare mandated by the health-care reform act.
That will involve a trip to Capitol Hill by Donald Berwick, whom Obama appointed, without Senate confirmation and over GOP objections, to head the government’s Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Republicans will no doubt ask Dr. Berwick to explain how those cuts can be made and what their effect on seniors will be.
