IPAB - the Independent Payment Advisory Board - is an under known, but critical part of Obamacare. It was briefly mentioned during the campaign, but we all know how that ended. The board, with members selected by Dr. Barack Hussein Obama, are tasked with enforcing a limit on Medicare spending growth. To enforce a limit, there has to be cuts in Medicare services, which led to the correct narrative that IPAB is nothing more than a death panel. With implementation a short ways away, IPAB is now becoming part of the Obamacare conversation.
