*shrug* I haven't seen any safeguards in my research. And really if they can cut such a large portion so early in the game, nothing is safe. The CLASS act was a major component of the bill.
And.... The Dems on the super committee just offered $400 billion in Medicare and Medicaid cuts.... That is government sponsored insurance.

If you would like to present specific safeguards that prevent government from cutting corners on health care I would love to have a conversation about them. But until then it is quite apparent that government can make big cuts in the health care plan. In fact they have already started.
