Does Obama Want To Take Away Medicare? 
It 's difficult to gauge what the ultimate goal of any politician is , that being said it appears the current administration is trying to get the costs associated with Medicare reduced . It appears they have put into the healthcare law a non-elected board that pretty much has ultimate power and has charged them with reducing how much Medicare will reimburse . From what I 've gathered this is done to help reduce costs . Ultimately , only the President knows his real intentions . I hope that helps .
