I didn't see this diaried anywhere else on the site, so I figured I'd take a crack at it and pass the information on.
Apparently this week House GOP members are scheduled to push a bill that will abolish the IPAB, that is, the Independant Payment Advisory Board. This body, set up as part of the Affordable Care Act in 2009, was intended to take the a look at excess spending in Medicare / Medicaid, and find ways to clean it up and stream line it.
Apparently, the GOP is all over this, seeing it as a potential target for an election year victory against "Obamacare", and a chance to tell their constituency back home that "they killed part of Obamacare".
Follow me, if you will, below the squiggly satanic orange thingy...
