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). Medicare is a separately administered program from most of the PPACA system, and the only really significant changes to Medicare that were included in were administrative (covering the method of payments, and amounts), and the eventual elimination of the Part D "donut hole" coverage problem. 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.

Can a patient have medicare and medicare advantage?

No, a patient cannot have both Original Medicare and a Medicare Advantage plan simultaneously. Medicare Advantage plans are an alternative to Original Medicare, and when a patient enrolls in a Medicare Advantage plan, they effectively replace their Original Medicare coverage with that plan. However, patients may have supplemental plans, such as Medigap, alongside Original Medicare, but not with a Medicare Advantage plan.
