You do understand that Obama, himself, says that he CUT $700 Billion from Medicare to pay for his own Obamacare.

RYAN: “The President raided $716 billion from the Medicare program to pay for the Obamacare program.”
FACT
Obamacare’s $716B in Medicare cuts, which Ryan included in the GOP budget, would slow the growth of Medicare over the next decade (2013-2022) and would not affect seniors’ benefits. Instead, the savings would eliminate overpayments to private insurers, reform provider payments to encourage greater efficiency, tie reimbursements to improvements in economic productivity, and reduce fraud and abuse. As a result, the solvency of the Medicare trust fund is extended by 8 years.
