CNN continually lies.... Here's the facts... A number of media outlets, several policymakers, and numerous political operatives have said the budget would cutMedicare by $845 billion and attacked these reductions, implying they represent large cuts to Medicare beneficiaries. This claim is largely false. In reality, the budget reduces Medicare spending by $515 billion or $575 billion (depending on how one measures). And rather than coming from benefit reductions, these savings come largely from policies that would reduce the cost of care for the taxpayer and Medicarebeneficiaries – and many of them build upon ideas originally proposed in President Obama's budgets. The oft-cited $845 billion estimate represents the gross difference in Medicare costs between the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) baseline and the President's proposed budget over the next decade. However, about one-third of that stems from moving two parts of Medicare – Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments and Graduate Medical Education (GME) payments – out of Medicare and into other parts of the budget. Most of the spending would continue, just not as part of Medicare.
