Senator Chuck Grassley issued the following comment about cuts to the Medicare Advantage program announced this afternoon.  Senator Grassley is a senior member and former chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which is responsible for Medicare policy and oversight.

"The announcement made today by the Administration emphasizes the reality that the Affordable Care Act built in cuts to Medicare Advantage.  In Iowa, we fought hard to have access to Medicare Advantage so that seniors would have more choices and the range of valuable services available to seniors in other parts of the country.  With the payment cut specified today as part of Obamacare, more Iowans will find they can`t keep the health care coverage they have."
