FLASHBACK: Obama & HHS Secretary Need to Get Their Story Straight on Medicare Cuts

The following press release was published by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on Sept. 21, 2012. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON, DC - President Obama today pushed back on claims that the $716 billion in Obamacare Medicare cuts are being used to fund new entitlement programs in the president’s health care law. The president’s statement seems to be at odds with testimony given by his own HHS Secretary before the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee in 2011.
