FACT CHECK: Some Obama health care stories flawed
The Associated Press
One of President Barack Obama's health care "horror stories" is about a woman who, he says, lost her health insurance on the verge of breast cancer surgery because she didn't disclose a case of acne to the insurer. That's not what happened. . . .
. . . Beaton did not lose her insurance because she failed to own up to a skin problem in her past. She lost it because, when enrolling in the plan, she had not reported a previous heart condition and did not list her weight accurately.
So where the hell was the "fact check" the last eight years? " Sadam has weapons of mass destruction," nope no need to verify that!
"We do not torture" hmm, that sounds probably true.
"We aren't wiretapping everyone's phone," well, that fact certainly doesn't need any checking!
But NOW? Hey, the president might have one part of this story incorrect! God Damn it, get me a fact checker! If the President thinks he can just go around citing the wrong pre-existing condition, well he sure didn't count on the ever-vigilant press!
Pathetic!
