|quote="So it's no surprise that the cycle of cuts and reversals has continued with almost comic certainty. In fact, just days ago, the House of Representatives passed a bill reversing Medicare cuts slated for 2010, with White House support. Yet as you read this, President Obama and Democrats in Congress insist they can pay for half of Obamacare's new spending on health care with... you guessed it: future, unspecified, scheduled cuts to Medicare doctors' fees, drug payments and hospital reimbursements."
