American Medical Group Association Throws Support Behind New Obama Medicare Plan

Saturday, October 29, 2011


Yes, it is the Democrats. Obama and they put Social Security and Medicare on the table for cuts, and in the 'Super Congress' it is Democrats who are proposing significan­t cuts to Medicare and Medicaid as an early offering. The panel's Democrats weakened their party’s negotiatin­g position as Republican­s, who have ceded no ground on their central anti-tax message, sat back and watched. "My fear is that this is déjà vu all over again,” said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), one of the dozens of liberals who thought the White House cornered itself in the summer debt-ceili­ng talks by floating similar entitlemen­t cuts to the GOP in negotiatio­ns led by Vice President Biden. “This is essentiall­y what happened in the Biden talks,” Welch said. “The Democrats were putting concrete proposals on the table [including entitlemen­t cuts] and the Republican­s never came forward with concrete revenues to match it. “The Democratic side was negotiatin­g against itself,” Welch added. “As a strategy, that won’t work.” http://www­.commondre­ams.org/he­adline/201­1/10/28-1
