Medicare's Escher-Like Budget Logic

Everyone knows the doctor cuts will never happen:
"I’m not willing to do that by punishing hard-working physicians or the millions of Americans who count on Medicare. That’s just wrong."

- President Obama 12 Jun 2010
... except when they must happen to make the Medicare budget work.

Oh, and rest assured we can continue to cut costs in Medicare without affecting the quality of care provided.

for goodness sake....

let's do what makes sense...

raise our taxes.

I'm happy to pay you for your efforts, but this business of wanting services but don't/won't pay for it has got to stop.
