The Biden threat to affordable Medicare

For years, Democrats have accused Republicans of wanting to slash entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security, but it is the Biden Democrats who actually cut benefits. Worse, they do it in ways that effectively cost taxpayers more.

The Biden administration is poised to squeeze Medicare Advantage plans yet again, but it should reconsider. Its proposal, due to be finalized by month’s end, continues the “worst of both worlds” approach of giving fewer choices to patients while indirectly but inevitably hastening Medicare’s insolvency.
