Several statements that President Barack Obama made at his town hall meeting at Portsmouth High School in New Hampshire on Tuesday merit closer inspection.
Among them:
Nobody will lose their current plan: "Now, the way we have approached it, is that if you've got healthcare under a private plan, if your employer provides you healthcare or you buy your own healthcare and you're happy with it, you won't have to change."
Fact: A nonprofit healthcare research organization, the Lewin Group, concluded in a study commissioned by the Heritage Foundation that more than 88 million Americans would lose their current insurance under the 1,018-page plan originally submitted to Congress.
"It is hard to argue against the facts," Nina Owcharenko, deputy director of the Center for Health Policy Studies for the Heritage Foundation, tells Newsmax. "The Lewin Group estimates more than 88 million could lose their current employer-based coverage under the House bill. Other estimates, by the Congressional Budget Office and Urban Institute, although lower than Lewin, still find millions of Americans could lose their current coverage."
Obama objects to special interests: "But let's face it, now is the hard part – because the history is clear – every time we come close to passing health insurance reform, the special interests fight back with everything they've got."
Fact: Actually, pharmaceutical companies and health insurance firms have tried hard to work with the administration to shape the proposals coming out of Congress.
"In stark contrast to the healthcare reform debate in the 1990s," reports The Hill, "the health insurance industry has refrained from launching attacks on Obama or the plans working their way through Congress. Insurance lobbyists have been very active on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue trying to shape the legislations, but so far the industry has not used its

Clinton was under OATH when he lied....we haven’t gotten Obomba under oath, YET
As for Filthy Clinton being Impeached he was,but the scum was still left in office and people were still falling at his filthy feet..
I've yet to see/hear ONE newsperson call him a liar. That IS what he is. All the talking heads say baRack is "not entirely correct", or "distorting the facts," or some other BS.
HE IS A LIAR PEOPLE!! BIG----FAT----LIAR!

Obama: “I have not said that I was a single payer supporter.”
Obama: “I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal healthcare plan.”
Barry can’t speak two sentences without lining up a strwman argument.
It is much simpler than this. Page 16 of the current bill in Congress describes how the government will kill private health care by attrition thru regulation. If a company cannot add customers nor change converage, policy, benefits it will die.
Clinton lied to a grand jury.
Zer0 can lie all he wants and his followers will eat it up with no consequence to himself.
But if he was to lie under oath ..... yeah, that would spell curtains for anyone.
they want 100% of your income....that is all healthcare and all other programs are about......its communism...
Clinton was white and therefore accountable. Zero is black, therefore a sacred cow. Stupidly the Democrats thought that Zero being black would of course make pushing the agenda a perfect means of preventing opposition.
Obama is incapable of truth. His entire life is one big LIE, from the day he was supposedly born.
He's a compulsive LIAR, he knows no other way. He even builds lies upon lies. When a previous lie doesn't make him sound large enough for the current situation, he expounds on that lie and grows himself larger. He's a compulsive Megalomaniac LIAR.
I thought John Kerry was the worst compulsive liar megalomaniac extraordinaire the nation had even seen, but Obama, or whatever his real name is, makes John Kerry seem like an amateur. Kerry used his real name, and mixed childhood truths with lies gradually building the truth lie ratio as he grew. His life didn't become a complete fraud until he joined the military and visioned himself as a war hero who crawled through the dirtiest trenches and leach filled swamps, shooting gooks and saving babies, and going on top secret mission into Cambodia, freezing in swamps as Buddhists celebrated Christmas.
Obama however, when "all in" right from birth.

Liberals lie. They have to because they cannot defend their positions on anything and everything. Liberals even refuse historical precedents not to mention statistical and scientific evidence or allow the facts and the truth to get in the way of their far left radical commie philosophy and agenda.
