How is your Congressperson voting on Health Care?

CapitolThe new health care reform law includes cuts to Medicare Advantage (MA) that will have a significant impact on millions of seniors who currently depend on this coverage option. These cuts are the largest the program has ever seen: more than $200 billion in cuts. The reduction in funding may lead to higher premiums and limit the choices and benefits that seniors currently rely on through their MA plans. Look at our Vote Tracker.

Non-partisan, government agencies have acknowledged the drastic impact of cuts to the Medicare Advantage program:

  • The Congressional Budget Office has stated that additional benefits provided by Medicare Advantage will be cut in half and that millions of seniors will lose their current coverage.
  • The Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services (CMS) Chief Actuary Rick Foster released an analysis of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in late April, pointing out that "The new provisions will … result in less generous benefit packages."
