Washington, Oct 14 - Apparently Andy Griffith hasn’t read the latest CMS report, which has some bad news in store for seniors. Thanks to ObamaCare’s penchant for increased costs, seniors on Medicare Advantage will soon have the disadvantage of paying more for less.

• “A Medicare official concedes that seniors may have to dig deeper into their wallets next year thanks to the health care law.”

• “The new analysis obtained by POLITICO finds the health care overhaul will result in increased out-of-pocket costs for seniors on Medicare Advantage plans.”

• “Richard Foster, the actuary for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, also tells Senate Republicans that the overhaul will result in ‘less generous benefit packages’ for Medicare Advantage plans next year. Foster is independent from the administration and non-partisan.”
