We just got our new Medicare rates, prescription and regular.

And the shocking news is that under the Affordable Care Act, we will pay less at every level of benefit.

Not a lot, a buck here and a fiver there. But less.

I have been waiting for this.

The naysayers are having conniptions. As the new rates are rolled out for the various groups, almost everyone is paying less.

How is this possible?

As predicted, the free market. The Medicare rates are not a result of that but are part of the general budget revisions.

This makes the right wing opposition and Fox News look dumber all the time.

In fact, today, there are two news items about how the Republicans polled now prefer to call the ACA the ACA instead of Obamacare. It is no longer something they care to hang around the neck of the man they hate so much.
