\nTwitter trolls are spreading lies about Obamacare and its relationship to Medicare and Seniors. You can combat their lies by getting the real facts and sharing them. Obamacare (aka Affordable Care Act) is a good thing, especially<\/em> for seniors.<\/p>\n

\nTruth: Medicare isn\u2019t part of the Health Insurance Marketplace established by ACA<\/a>, so you don’t have to replace your Medicare coverage with Marketplace coverage. No matter how you get Medicare, whether through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan, you\u2019ll still have the same benefits and security you have now. <\/p>\n

Medicare changes provide enormous benefits to Seniors<\/a>. However, the changes do cut down on fraud and overbilling \u2013 so trolls who are working for conservative political lobbies to protect the incomes of the medical and pharmaceutical industry stockholders and executives, will be against curtailing fraud for obvious reasons. <\/p>\n
