No single issue will be more politicized this election than Medicare and efforts to reform this primary driver of our nation's long-term debt. Please read the following article exposing two major deceptions being propagated by the media and liberals intent on scaring the nation's seniors. Don't forget to read the links at the bottom of the article. They are enormously helpful to understanding this contentious issue.

Democrats came on strong in celebrating what they also now call “ObamaCare” during speeches at the beginning of their national convention in Charlotte, but enthusiasm waned as the week went on, with President Obama not even mentioning his signature legislative achievement during his acceptance speech on the final day.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Obama is “the president who delivered the security of affordable health care to every single American after 90 years of trying.” Not true – either on universality or affordability – but he tried.

But the law remains unpopular, and party leaders were urging the president to go all in during his convention address. They wanted the president to lend his political capital to defending, repackaging, and selling the law in Charlotte to make it easier for down-ballot Democrats to face continuing hostility toward the law back home.

Call it President Obama’s Committee for the Re-Election of the President — a political slush fund at the Health and Human Services Department. Only this isn’t some little fund from shadowy private sources; this is taxpayer money, redirected to help Obama win another term. A massive amount of it, too — $8.3 billion.

It’s hard to imagine a bigger electoral disaster for a president than seniors in crucial states like Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio discovering that he’s taken away their beloved Medicare Advantage just weeks before an election.

But the administration’s devised a way to postpone the pain one more year, getting Obama past his last election; it plans to spend $8 billion to temporarily restore Medicare Advantage funds so that seniors in key markets don’t lose their trusted insurance program in the middle of Obama’s re-election bid.

Almost everyone involved in health care will tell you that the greatest problem in our system is that we pay on a "fee-for-service" basis. Almost everyone is wrong. Fee for service is not the problem, but FFS in a third party payor system. Only in health care is there someone else picking up the tab for our spending.

If we applied the same third-party payment technique to any other segment of the economy we would get the exact same inflationary spiral we see in health care.

This week marks the two your anniversary of the passage of the PPACA (OBAMACARE). The White House recently held a meeting with more than 100 left-wing organizations who support the government takeover of American healthcare. As this memo leaked from the meeting shows, the progressive left is engaged in another tax-payer funded public relations blitz in order to persuade the American people to embrace ObamaCare.

The information below will dispute their claims how ObamaCare helps women. The Left states that ObamaCare: prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage to women due to preexisting conditions, gives women preventative care such as mammograms and birth control at no out-of-pocket cost, and will prohibit insurers from charging women higher premiums than they charge men. Let's examine these claims individually:

Obama administration top healthcare official admits the much maligned health insurance industry is on the path to extinction as result of the president's healthcare law.  Yes, America is well on its way to "single-payer" Europeanized healthcare.

Democratic leaders in the U.S. House, still trying to pick up enough votes to pass a sweeping health care reform bill Sunday, have inserted a provision into the legislation that would bring millions of dollars to Tennessee hospitals that treat large numbers of poor people.

The language, part of a package of revisions released Thursday, would provide $100 million over the next two years to hospitals in states that do not receive federal funds for providing a disproportionate share of uncompensated care.

Members of Tennessee's congressional delegation have been working for years to pass similar legislation, and its inclusion in the health care bill is seen by many as a last-ditch effort by Democrats to influence lawmakers who may be on the fence about health care reform or persuade others to switch their "no" votes to "yes."

ABC News' Zachary B. Wolf reports: It is clear that priority number one for the White House health reform summit is to cleanse the health reform legislation process in the eyes of Americans who soured on the process and became convinced that the House and Senate bills were behind closed doors with special treatment for certain lawmakers.

Every expert I have talked to says that the public has it right. These bills, as they stand, are budget-busters.

Here, for example, is what Robert Bixby, the executive director of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan group of budget watchdogs, told me: "The Senate bill is better than the House version, but there's not much reform in this bill. As of now, it's basically a big entitlement expansion, plus tax increases."

The challenge to Congress -- and to Obama -- remains the same: Make the promised savings real, and don't pass along unfunded programs to our children and grandchildren.

Three months before he was elected president, Barack Obama vowed not only to reform health care but also to pass the legislation in an unprecedented way.

"I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table," he said at an appearance in Chester, Va., repeating an assertion he made many times. He said the discussions would be "televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies."

But now, as a Senate vote on health-care legislation nears, those negotiations are occurring in a setting that is anything but revolutionary in Washington: Three senators are working on the bill behind closed doors.
