Medicare too? I heard a lot about Medicaid being cut, but very little about Medicare.
Can you point me to some specifics about the cuts to Medicare?
(Going on it in less than two years, so I want to know.)

Yes, Medicare too. Unless Congress intervenes, Medicare providers will see about a 4% cut every year starting next October. The new law's deficit boost triggers automatic sequestration cuts across the board each year for ten years.
Total 10 year cut: $~490 billion

The source is clearly biased (sorry), but I believe it's accurate on the numbers.
