FACT CHECK: Obama drops iffy line on health plan (Even Associated Press Admits Obama Lied!)
AOL/AP ^ | By CALVIN WOODWARD and ERICA WERNER

Posted on 09/09/2009 6:52:52 PM PDT by MindBender26

In his speech to Congress on Wednesday night, President Barack Obama gave a more accurate — and less reassuring —account of the impact of his proposed health care overall than he has done in the past. It went by in a blink.

He told Americans that nothing he is proposing will force businesses or consumers to change their existing insurance coverage. That much is true.

It's also true that nothing in his plan guarantees that policies people have now will continue to be available in the same form. In earlier accounts, he spoke with unmerited certainty in saying people who are happy with their current insurance can simply keep it.

Other parts of his speech repeated some of the oversimplified claims that have marked his salesmanship.

“Other parts of his speech repeated some of the oversimplified claims that have marked his salesmanship.”

That sentence is pretty much a bullseye.

Interesting isn’t it. It’s now what he says, it’s what he doesn’t say. And in order to get the truth from this man, questions must be carefully worded.

There is no provision for illegal aliens. However, it is also true that Democrats voted against checking citizenship status.

Well, This is what Obamas own Health Care Czar Ezekiel Emmanuel said last year in Health Affairs Journal On the Subject Of Cutting waste “Vague Promises of savings from cutting waste ,enhancing prevention and wellness ,installing electronic medical records and improving quality are merely lipstick cost controls, more for show and public relations than for true change”. For more info on The Health care Czar Emmanuel read his articles ,here are 3,
“What are the Potential Cost savings from legalizing Physician-assisted suicide?”, “Choosing the time to Die:The Ethics and Economics of Suicide in Old Age”and the favorite,”Age Rationing and the Just Distribution of Health Care:Is there a Duty to Die?”
