Congressional Democrats join Biden attack on Medicare Part C | Eastern North Carolina Now

Medicare, the government program that all citizens are compelled to contribute to every paycheck during their working lives and then provides their health care after retirement, has already come under attack by the Biden regime, which is proposing significant cuts to Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage.  Now Congressional Democrats have joined in with legislation to cut Medicare Advantage.

Medicare Advantage is an increasingly popular optional program that provides a list of additional benefits at the cost of an increased premium.  It is popular with both middle class retirees and with minority retirees as well.  Indeed 53% of Latino Medicare recipients and 50% of black Medicare recipients choose Part C coverage.  Overall, Biden's cuts would impact 30 million seniors.

Funny thing how the MSM is downplaying this Democrat cut to Medicare after they have for years parroted the Democrats fictitious claims of Republican cuts to Medicare.
