In 1973, several changes were made to Medicare. The most significant change was the creation of two parts - Part A, which covers hospital insurance, and Part B, which covers medical insurance. Additionally, the eligibility criteria were expanded to include individuals with long-term disabilities and end-stage renal disease. The legislation also established the Medicare Advantage program, which allows beneficiaries to receive Medicare benefits through private health plans.

What specific benefits are reduced or limited on Medicare as a result of the Affordable Care Act?
The PPACA makes signficant changes to Medicaid (the program for the poor), but mostly administrative changes to Medicare (the program for the elderly).

See the link below for a summary list of all the changes that the PPACA made to Medicare. Note that almost none concern available services/benefits.
