I think if the repubs were "reducing the rate of growth" we would rightly call it a cut. There is a lot of hypocrisy on this point.

No money is being "taken out of Medicare". No services or benefits are being reduced or cut. That is all republican propaganda...lies.

The amounts being reduced have been negotiated for the future and redirected to increase services and benefits to seniors in Obamacare and agreed to because of the increase in volume of new customers.

The profiteering in Medicare advantage is being halted.
Sununu is trying desperately to muddy the waters and confuse seniors by claiming "money has been taken out of Medicare" when no money has been "taken out" at all.
Finally an informed newscaster pushes back against the outright lying by these republicans...and screaming over and insulting her still does not make his comments true. You can't talk to people who deny facts by condescending and name calling.

When Obama and the WH say something true you cannot claim it's untrue simply because it comes from them.

"You might as well put a WH sticker on your forehead if you just keep repeating what they say"...Facts are still facts no matter where they come from. Sununu has an aversion to facts, integrity and civility.

But Obama took the savings, and applied it to cover free preventative coverage for seniors, and to close the donut hole.

Sununu is lying.
