Fact-Checking Obama’s Health-Care Speech: Many False Claims

In his health-care speech last night, President Obama promised the world, but didn’t explain how he would pay for it. It was all sizzle, no substance. Even media that often cheerlead for Obama found his claims hard to swallow.

Obama claimed that his proposals won’t add “one dime to the deficit now or in the future.” But as the Associated Press noted, his proposals “would drive up the deficit by billions of dollars.” The Washington Post, which endorsed Obama and hasn’t…

Obama Keeps Lying About His Health-Care Plan, Even After Being Caught by Fact-Checkers

Obama Keeps Lying About His Health-Care Plan, Even After Being Caught by Fact-Checkers

You just can’t trust President Obama’s claims about his health-care plan. He keeps on lying even after he is caught lying and his lies have become obvious.

The Congressional Research Service and the Washington Examiner say that illegal aliens WILL be covered by ObamaCare — contrary to what Obama claims.

Factcheck.org and the Associated Press’s Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar earlier reported that abortions would be covered by ObamaCare — contrary to what Obama claims.

Fact-checkers have repeatedly caught Obama lying about health-care.

But when Obama denied that his health-care…

Yes, ObamaCare Will Likely Cover Illegal Immigrants

Media fact-checkers have caught Obama telling several falsehoods about his health-care proposals. But they have let him get away with other false claims, such as his claim that ObamaCare would not cover illegal immigrants. As John Rosenberg, an expert on discrimination law, explains, the health-care legislation backed by Obama would indeed likely cover illegal immigrants.

While a House health-care bill backed by Obama purports to exclude exclude illegal immigrants from receiving certain taxpayer-funded subsidies, it effectively includes them, since it blocks any way of…

Civil Rights Commission Criticizes Obama Health-Care Plan’s Racially-Discriminatory Affirmative Action

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights says Obama’s health-care plan is racially discriminatory. The House health-care bill backed by Obama is filled with “sections that factor in race when awarding billions in contracts, scholarships and grants” and give “preferential treatment to minority students for scholarships.” Taxpayers of all races will end up paying more because of these arbitrary racial preferences. The Civil Rights Commission has concluded that this racial discrimination is unjustified, and that it will neither “reduce health care disparities…
