the bulk of the Medicare cuts are to MA providers who have been overpaid by more than 15%.
Thereby reducing the number of providers that will accept it = less providers for those covered.

THere are both costs and benefits implemented immediately and other costs and benefits that are deferred until regulations can be written...unless you expect the Insurance Exchange to be created overnight and w/o public comment (then you would probably complain about acting too quickly and w/o transpaerency).
There are virtually no benefits and the costs start immediately.
Don't tell me what I would and/or wouldn't do. You are getting to be an asshole - please stop.
