Proposed Medicare Cuts in President George Bush’s Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Statement by Robert M. Hayes, President, Medicare Rights Center “President Bush's proposed cuts to Medicare would hurt older and disabled Americans and take a wrecking ball to many essential hospitals across the country. It is indefensible for the President to propose hurting America's grandparents while maintaining his rabid defense of Medicare overpayments to for-profit health insurance companies.”
