I'm wondering if an upcoming corporate giveaway/cost cutting measure is to weaken "Original Medicare" in order to push more people to Medicare Advantage. They can say they are cutting costs on Medicare, thus "saving money", and they can say if people don't like it, it's not really being taken away, they can move to an MA plan -- thus actually giving more money to corporations as more people move to them (and actually increasing overall spending, since the government spends more per person on MA plans).
Too nuanced?
