Okay, let's see if you can actually talk policy fact. I'll bite:
Be specific - what part do you say is a "blatant, bold-faced lie". Talk about the policy points that you say are a lie.
Hint: this is already enshrined as law by the ACA, so there's not any "what if" out there or guessing possible, it's all reality
Here is Obama campaign rep Stephanie Cutter with an ad released today, with the details of what the Obama Medicare plan is, for your ease of reference:

Transcript policy points from Obama campaign from the video. Please point out which policy points are lies:
Quote:
President Obama's Medicare changes in Affordable Care Act, versus Romney-Ryan Medicare voucher program:
President's Medicare plan does not cut benefits one dime.
Instead, ends taxpayer subsidies to insurance companies and weeds out waste, fraud and abuse with saves the Medicare system $716,000 billion.
Paul Ryan liked the above so well, he kept those same savings in the Ryan Budget
That $716,000 was used in the ACA to expand Medicare benefits and strengthen the program, thusly:
- closed the donut hole for seniors, saving them currently $600 per year in prescription costs
Romney says current seniors won't notice anything different under his Medicare plan: Yes, they will,thusly:
- Romney will repeal Obamacare, which increases senior costs for paying out-of-pocket for wellness visits (currently covered)
- Romney plan adds that $716,00 billion in waste and fraud right back into Medicare system (by cancelling the savings) and then gives insurance companies $150,000 billion dollars
- Obamacare extends Medicare life by 8 years (according to Medicare program experts)
- Romney Medicare plan would bankrupt system by 2016, in 4 years (according to Medicare program experts)
