Bull.
You think reducing bedsores, a key component of the "savings" is going to save 1/2 Billion?
You think screening Medicare claims and providers is going to save 1/2 Billion? You think they aren't screened now?
You think setting up the ACO to study ways to save money will lower costs by 1/2 Billion?
Maybe you do.
FACT is, every politician since Johnson has campaigned saying they can pull savings from Medicare. Did you believe them?
