Obamacare will be just fine for grandma and grandpa
No benefit cuts whatsoever -- it will be just like old times sake.
So why not put that in writing?

Senate Fails to Spare Doctors from Medicare Cuts
The Senate passed legislation Friday to spare doctors a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments - but the last-ditch effort did not come in time.
Moments after the Senate acted, Medicare announced it would begin processing claims it has already received for June at the lower rate. The reason: the House cannot act on the fix until next week.
That means doctors, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and other providers who bill under Medicare's physician fee schedule will have to resubmit their claims if they want to be made whole, with added paperwork costs both for the providers and for taxpayers.
"Congress is playing Russian roulette with seniors' health care," Dr. Cecil B. Wilson, president of the American Medical Association, said in a statement. "This is no way to run a major health coverage program."
Want something run really efficiently and well -- get the government to do it.
