1. In an unprecedented action, the Office of the Actuary for Medicare has repudiated the official Annual Report of the Medicare Trustees that claimed that the new Obamacare law would strengthen the program.

The Right Side News reported that Chief Actuary Richard Foster, a career civil servant in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), called the Trustees Report "unreasonable" and "implausible."

The Office of the Actuary issued its own analysis, which warned that "the projections shown in the (official) report do not represent the best estimate of actual future Medicare expenditures."

Foster had previously issued another report shortly after the passage of Obamacare which said the new law would cut Medicare by $575 Billion over the next 10 years; cause 7.5 million seniors to lose their Medicare Advantage coverage and another 7.5 million to face higher premiums and benefit cuts; result in one in seven hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and hospices to become unprofitable and possibly drop out of Medicare altogether; and force many doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients entirely.

2. The latest Rasmussen poll finds that 60% of voters want to repeal Obamacare, while 36% want to keep it and 4% are undecided.

In measuring the intensity of opinions, fully 50% of the people strongly want to repeal Obamacare, while only 26% strongly want to keep it.

3. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is sending out $250 checks to 3.75 million seniors affected by the "donut hole" in Medicare prescription drug coverage with a letter touting Obamacare.

The Associated Press reported, "Democrats running scared in an election year, are trying to overcome older people's mistrust of the new health care law, which expands coverage for younger generations by cutting Medicare payments to hospitals and insurers."

The government checks come with a letter from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius which say Obamacare "will help make Medicare more financially secure and provide you with higher quality and more affordable health care."

A recent issue of this newsletter reported on how taxpayers funds were being used for propaganda purposes to try to convince seniors that Obamacare is actually beneficial, including TV ads featuring Andy Griffith, who says, "I think you're going to like it."
