Republican presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney has made the claim repeatedly that, $716 billion is being slashed from Medicare over 10 years to pay for the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.
Although some reductions in Medicare are envisioned, Romney’s claim isn’t true.
“Not true,” says Harold Pollack, a professor of public health policy at the University of Chicago. “I’m honestly rather baffled at the arguments that Governor Romney is making.”
