re: ACA death panels:
Buried deep within Obamacare is a provision that takes away health care from you and your doctors, by taking away payment for critical health care that may be needed to save your life. It is called The
Independent Payment Advisory Board (
IPAB).
The
board will be independent of you, your doctors, your hospitals,
Medicare,
Congress, the judiciary, the democratic process, ultimately even the Constitution itself. As the Cato Institute tried to warn us five years ago,
IPAB is “independent in the worst sense of the word: independent of
Congress, independent of the president, independent of the judiciary, and independent of the will of the people.”
IPAB is to be composed of 15 unelected bureaucrats appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. But the
board and its powers are so dangerous that even President Obama never made any appointments.
Starting next year, if
Medicare spending is projected to grow faster than the rate of economic growth per capita plus 1 percentage point,
IPAB is empowered to make a proposal that will cut
Medicare spending at least to the targeted growth rate.
IPAB will be proposing such
Medicare cuts every year starting next year because historically,
Medicare spending has grown every year by per capita economic growth plus 2.6 percentage points.
Obamacare, however, expressly excluded
IPAB from achieving the required savings by rationing health care, raising taxes, increasing cost-sharing in
Medicare, cutting
Medicare benefits, or altering
Medicare eligibility. That leaves
IPAB with just 2 options — slash payments to doctors, hospitals and other health care providers under
Medicare, or deny specific health care treatments to seniors on grounds they are not “cost effective,” as the British National Health Service does for socialized medicine, so admired by Democrats.
SOOOOoooooooooooooo.. now tell me how it's all Republican BS?
