Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) supported President Obama’s heathcare reform legislation (commonly referred to as “ObamaCare”), which — in addition to cutting $500 billion from Medicare — created a Medicare IRS that will deny seniors access to the care they need.
Acting like a Medicare IRS, the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) is a 15-member bureaucratic council that will dictate what constitutes “necessary care” for Medicare recipients as a means to cut costs beyond the half-trillion dollars that was already eliminated through Obama’s government takeover of healthcare. The Board’s so-called recommendations can be fully enacted without Congressional action, allowing them to autonomously ration care for seniors.
The result is that the IPAB can cut doctor payments and ultimately decide what treatments senior receive.
