What Effect Will Obamacare Have On Medicare? 
While our President claims his historic reforms will take nothing away from seniors care health benefits , his law arbitrarily claimed costs during the first 10 years would be less than $ 1 trillion dollars . One of the ways that the Congressional Budget Office came to this estimate was planned cuts of $ 700 billion in Medicare pending during that same 10-year period , despite the fact that Medicare will have more members than ever . Whether the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services can actually provide coverage for our senior population while saving $ 700 billion remains to be seen , but the reality of the situation is those savings seem impossible , or highly unlikely at best .
