[edit] Passive Voice not as cool as Sourced Facts

First paragraph: "It was reported"? How about "X Newspaper reported", with a link?--Zaorish 17:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the problem is that this was written a while ago and needs refreshing. The Kaiser Family Foundation has some great references on this reform. [1] is a great place to start on this. There are also at least a dozen bloggers who write extensively on this. --Chrispounds 23:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Off-Tone language: Other Provisions

The "Other provisions" section contains some language that doesn't really fit with the tone of an encyclopedic article.

Specifically, the following, especially the part about "[working] the numbers," is something I am used to seeing in blog posts or in casual conversation: "All well and good, but the Bush Administration refused to index the brackets used in the means testing to inflation. This generation of Medicare recipients will see their Medicare B premiums increase dramatically before they die (retire at 65, live until 95, 3% inflation, work the numbers)."

(It is also unsourced...) --75.108.151.149 05:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
