Senator Kay Hagan doesn’t have a high regard for
voters in North Carolina. She is blaming
the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare for following the laws that she and her
fellow democrats voted for in Obamacare.
National Review reported the following:
In 2009, Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) promised North Carolinians who depend on
Medicare that she was going to “protect Medicare” and that they would “not see a drop in their
Medicare coverage.”
But in 2010 Kay Hagan voted to slash Medicare Advantage to pay for
ObamaCare. (H.R. 4872, CQ Vote #72:
Motion agreed to 56-42: R 0-40; D 54-2; I 2-0, 3/24/10, Hagan Voted Yea)
In North Carolina 463,159 seniors depend on Medicare
Advantage plans (28% of all Medicare enrollees).
According to America’s Health Insurance Plans, in North
Carolina, seniors on Medicare Advantage plans experienced cost increases and
benefit cuts of an estimated $50-60 per month as a result of this year’s 6 percent
cut to the program due to ObamaCare.
Now, as North Carolina seniors are being crushed under
the weight of ObamaCare and as her own poll numbers plummet, Kay Hagan admits
in a letter to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
that she cut Medicare for seniors after promising North Carolinians that they
wouldn’t “see a drop in their
Medicare coverage”
Hagan’s letter reads: “We write to raise serious concerns
about the Medicare Advantage (MA) 2015 rate notice and the impact further cuts
may have on the millions of individuals enrolled in the program,” the senators
write. “We are strongly committed to preserving the high quality health plan
choices and benefits that our constituents receive through the MA program.
Given the impact that payment policies could have on our constituents, we ask
that you prioritize beneficiaries’ experience and minimize disruption in
maintaining payment levels for 2015.”
Senator Hagan can run from her record, but she can’t
hide. And I don’t believe North
Carolinians have to be reminded of this disaster known as Obamacare. What we need is someone in the Senate who
will actually read the bills before passing them. There is no excuse for what this woman has
done.
