HCR Lies and distortions... how many have there been??

[Mythbuster]

Off the top of my head, several come to mind... here are my favorites.

"Death Panels!"

"Socialized Medicine"

"When all those people get insured, there won't be enough doctors to see them, we'll have a shortage of doctors!"

"It is Government Run Healthcare!"

"They want to pull the plug on Grandma!"

"You'll have to wait months to see your doctor, if he doesn't quit"

"It'll cost thousands of nurses and healthcare workers their jobs!"

"You Lie!"

"Illegal Immigrants will be covered!"

"Reconciliation isn't intended to be used for major pieces of legislation!"

I'm sure the list is almost endless, and these false talking points are still repeated over and over again.

3. Yep... it was

a component of the HCR campaigning... so much for that one.

2. They shouldn't take money away from Medicare to fund some government-run health care!
