As part of the ongoing war over Medicare, the Obama campaign has lately been arguing that his national health care law actually extends the solvency of the program.

“The president … doesn’t just talk about Medicare solvency – he actually did something, and he did it in a way that enhances seniors’ benefits,” Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said, according to the Politico. “President Obama extended the solvency of Medicare by 8 years by passing the Affordable Care Act, and his budget would add another two years to its lifetime.”
