Someone told me that Neal Boortz was talking about the top 20 lies oh wait, mis-statements he has given over health care.  They also told me they were surprised that the Wall Street Journal, which I found it on National Review, had written this piece. 

Of course that got my curiosity and I had to check it out.  See what is ironic is all the mis-statements that Obama and the Democrats have claimed all of America has made about the Health Care.  What I found curious as he and Pelosi and so many others from their script of what to say, that I read the bill myself and found half of what was said was wrong.  I knew it because I read the legislation and was able to go back and see for myself if I read it wrong or if this proves that Obama and the Democrats actually read the bill. 

Guess what I found, probably same thing as all of America.  We knew, We know.  We understand when we are being sold a farm in the Siberia.  So to speak.  

Here are Obama’s greatest lies … misstatements … and stretches of the truth as contained in his address before the joint session.

1. “Buying insurance on your own costs you three times as much as the coverage you get from your employer.”  CBO says “Premiums for policies purchased in the individual insurance market are, on average, much lower — about one-third lower for single coverage and one-half lower for family policies.”
2. “There are now more than 30 million American citizens who cannot get coverage.”   study prepared for the federal government estimates that 9 million people counted as “uninsured” in the standard estimate are in fact enrolled in Medicaid.  The left-leaning Urban Institute estimates that 12 million are eligible but not enrolled and one quarter to three quarters of the uninsured can afford to purchase coverage, but choose not to do so.
3. And every day, 14,000 Americans lose their coverage.”  The paper that generated this estimate assumed that two months of severe job losses would continue forever.
4. “One man from Illinois lost his coverage in the middle of chemotherapy. . . . They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it.”   because of it. The originator of this false claim, a writer for Slate named Timothy Noah, has admitted he got it wrong.
5. “Another woman from Texas was about to get a double mastectomy when her insurance company canceled her policy because she forgot to declare a case of acne.”  The woman’s testimony at the June 16 hearing confirms that her surgery was delayed several months. It also suggests that the dermatologist’s chart may have described her skin condition as precancerous, that the insurer also took issue with an apparent failure to disclose an earlier problem with an irregular heartbeat, and that she knowingly under reported her weight on the application.” The woman deserves sympathy, but Obama has stretched the truth here.
6. Rising costs are “why so many employers . . . are forcing their employees to pay more for insurance.”  The “employer’s share” of employees’ health-care costs comes out of those employees’ wages, not out of profits. In this comment and in five others in his speech, Obama contradicts that basic truth. Employers aren’t forcing their employees to pick up a larger share of the bill because they can’t. Workers are already paying the entire bill.
7. Rising costs are “why American business that compete internationally . . . are at a huge disadvantage.”  OMB director, Peter Orszag, confirmed that health-care costs do not hinder competitiveness.
8. “Those of us with health insurance are also paying a hidden and growing tax for those without it — about $1,000 per year that pays for somebody else’s emergency room and charitable care.”  Kaiser Family Foundation study debunked the group’s analysis, reaching an estimate closer to $200 per year for a family. The CBO report mentioned above reached the same conclusion.  Even if that was in there, the cost of any new plan the Democrats come up with, this is better than what they are trying to shove down our throats.
9. At this point, Obama said, “These are the facts. Nobody disputes them.”  This comment continues Obama’s already long tradition of trying to curtail debate by denying that anyone disagrees with him.  His shut you up comment.   Don’t fall for it!  Be ready to blast him, he won’t know what to do or say.  He isn’t good on his feet, remember needs teleprompter and questions ahead of time and answered by the teleprompter writer.
10. “[Reform] will slow the growth of health-care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government.”  CBO  says, the legislation significantly expands the federal responsibility for health-care costs.”
11. “Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have. Let me repeat this: Nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have.”   Obama’s claim is false. The CBO estimates that slashing payments to Medicare Advantage, as Obama advocates, “would reduce the extra benefits that would be made available to beneficiaries through Medicare Advantage plans.” It would also cause some people to lose their coverage.
12. Requiring insurers to cover preventive care “saves money.”  “Although some preventive measures do save money, the vast majority reviewed in the health economics literature do not.”
13. “The [bogus] claim . . . that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens . . . is a lie, plain and simple.”  Most important, the substance of Palin’s claim is, in fact, true. Obama himself proposed a new Independent Medicare Advisory Council with the authority to deny life-extending care to the elderly and disabled.  pg 14 “(j) LIMITATION ON JUDICIAL REVIEW.—A person adversely affected by a recommendation of the Council that is approved by the President under subsection (f) may file a petition for review, not later than 30 days after such approval, in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Review shall be limited to the question whether the Council’s recommendation exceeded the Council’s authority under subsection (c) or (d).  Read through it is hard to read but I think pg 8 and 9 might be interesting to figure out what it says. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/assets/legislative_letters/IMAC_bill_071709.pdf   

14. “There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.” http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/106160.pdf  See page 2 then look to the index will point you to where the illegals are covered.  Interesting.  We must get them to go home or have them sent home.  That money does not stay here it gets sent elsewhere.  This is America.  America is for Americans.  Americans comes first and foremost. “Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions.”  Or this from 1994  http://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-07-95-00010.pdf  or this CBO letter to Sen Grassley Sep 2009 http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/106xx/doc10619/09-22-GrassleyLtr.pdf  or this from 2004  http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscal.pdf  or Apr 2006 http://www.seattlepi.com/local/268362_medicaid28.html  or obama site http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/issues/HealthCareFullPlan.pdf  or HR3200 from CRS http://www.cis.org/articles/2009/CRS_Report_on_HR3200.pdf
15. Critics of the public option would “be right if taxpayers were subsidizing this public insurance option. But they won’t be. I’ve insisted that like any private insurance company, the public insurance option would have to be self-sufficient and rely on the premiums it collects.”  Unless Obama refers to some draft legislation inside his head, this claim is false. The Housebill allows the “government option” to pay for abortions directly from the U.S. Treasury. Both the House and Baucus bills would subsidize private insurance that cover abortions. (See Douglas Johnson’s comment on this article.)
16. “And I will make sure that no government bureaucrat or insurance company bureaucrat gets between you and the care that you need.”  But even if a new program would be “administered by the government, just like Medicaid or Medicare,” it would interfere in those decisions. As an administrative-law judge wrote to one of us after Obama’s address: “I am a government bureaucrat . . . and I just happen to be reviewing [six] cases, albeit involving Medicare and Medicaid, where the government has inserted itself between the patient and the care prescribed by the physician.”
17. “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future.”“The plan will not add to our deficit.”  None of the bills before Congress can credibly claim to keep the deficit from rising. The one that comes closest, the Baucus bill, does so by making the wildly implausible assumption that Congress will allow 40 percent cuts in physician payments under Medicare to take place in 2012. Congress has routinely refused to support much smaller cuts.
18. “Now, add it all up, and the plan I’m proposing will cost around $900 billion over ten years.”Baucus bill would cost closer to $2 trillion than $1 trillion once we “add it all up.” The CBOsays that bill would spend a mere $774 billion over ten years, in part because the spending begins late in that ten-year window. Republican staffers on the Senate Budget Committee estimate that the Baucus bill would cost $1.7 trillion over the first ten years of full implementation.
19. “The middle class will realize greater security, not higher taxes.”  CBO affirms that the penalties for non-compliance “would be equivalent to a tax or fine.”
20. “I won’t stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are.”   Obama hadn’t noticed, everyone from the drug-makers to the unions to the insurance companies he demonizes are spending millions to build momentum for his version of reform — in no small part because Obama has promised to buy them off with middle-class tax dollars.  

When President Obama makes a factual claim about health-care policy, he does not deserve the benefit of the doubt about its accuracy. We do not know whether he has been badly misinformed or is deliberately trying to mislead. Either way, he cannot be trusted to reform American health care.
