There are some ads running that are taking a pretty big shot at Joe Biden.
The ads claim that Joe Biden cut funding for Medicare Advantage.
The administration is fighting back, saying that is all rhetoric.
Who is Right?
The language used in the new rule by the Biden administration is, to be honest, very confusing.
Even experts in the industry are trying to figure out if the cuts will result in better care or higher premiums.
HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra stated, “This budget does not cut funding for … Medicare Advantage.
“It increases funding over last year for MA plans.”
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), however, disagrees.
According to Cotton, Biden has made the cuts…
It's President Biden who is proposing to cut Medicare Advantage, a program used by almost 4 in 10 Arkansas seniors.
This would be a mistake. https://t.co/2GFxa0AT7z

I am sure Republicans are going to go over this with a fine-toothed comb because if Cotton is right, it will devastate Democrats in the upcoming election.
Keep in mind, Biden has been targeting Medicare and other entitlement programs since he first entered the Senate, and that cannot be denied.
