Mitt Romney: “Pre-existing conditions are covered under my (health care) plan.” - False

Mitt Romney: Says Barack Obama “put in place a board that can tell people ultimately what treatments they’re going to receive.” - Mostly False
Barack Obama: Says Romney wants to add $2 trillion to the defense budget that the military hasn’t asked for. - True
Barack Obama: Romney “would turn Medicare into a voucher program.” — Mostly True
Mitt Romney: “On Medicare for current retirees, he’s cutting $716 billion from the program.” - Half True
Barack Obama: Says Mitt Romney’s plan “calls for a $5 trillion tax cut.” - Half True
“(In 2011, the CBO determined that the federal health care law would reduce Medicare outlays by $507 billion between 2012 and 2021. In a more recent estimate released this year, the CBO looked at the years 2013 to 2022 and determined the health care law affected Medicare outlays by $716 billion.

So it’s timing that’s making the cuts bigger, not changes to Medicare. And the cuts are from future spending, not the program’s current budget.

Romney said, “on Medicare for current retirees, (Obama) is cutting $716 billion from the program.”

That amount — $716 billion — refers to Obamacare’s reductions in Medicare spending over 10 years, primarily paid to insurers and hospitals. But the statement gives the impression that the law takes money already allocated to Medicare away from current recipients.

We rate his statement Half True.)”
