President Barack Obama, seeking to make a case for health-insurance regulation, told a poignant story to a joint session of Congress last week. An Illinois man getting chemotherapy was dropped from his insurance plan when his insurer discovered an unreported gallstone the patient hadn't known about.....
"They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it," the president said in the nationally televised address.
In fact, the man, Otto S. Raddatz, didn't die because the insurance company rescinded his coverage once he became ill, an act known as recission........got Mr. Raddatz's policy reinstated within three weeks of his April 2005 rescission and secured a life-extending stem-cell transplant for him. Mr. Raddatz died this year, nearly four years after the insurance showdown.
Obama aides say the president got the essence of the story correct. Mr. Raddatz was dropped from his insurance plan weeks before a scheduled stem-cell transplant.....
The patient's sister, Peggy M. Raddatz, testified before the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee June 16 that her brother ultimately received treatment that "extended his life approximately three years." Nowhere in the hearing did she say her brother died because of the delay. Ms. Raddatz didn't return calls seeking comment...

That’s DIFFERENT!
;^)
This is no joke! This is very serious! Lying can not be ignored!
Before the Nation, no, before the world, President Barack Hussein Obama lied. President Obama lied just to make a make his issue. President Obama lied because he was losing an issue!
This was the second time, while talking about Health Care, President Obama created his patient’s health problem. By using part of a real person’s illness President Barack Hussein Obama created a story about this man and lied on National Television.
This is very serious. This is very dangerous.
What other issues has Barack Hussein Obama, the man, lied himself out of. Or…..does this character trait go back to his toddler age, or maybe his ‘youngster’ age, as a teenager maybe. We do know ‘Barry’ was brought back to the US to finish High School. Did ‘Barry’ lie to cover up his experiences as a pre-teen in another country.
Regardless -—— this can not be ignored, as lying is very serious. We have the second lie, in the last month, in front of the Nation ...... we have a very troubled person leading this country.
This is a HUGE RED FLAG!!!!
It can’t be said .... well these two examples were small ones. No, you can’t say that!
Because the next lie may be with another Country!
They still did drop his coverage, which is wrong and frankly, evil.
That said, Obama stretched the truth to the extremes....heck, he flat lied since he didn’t die because of that drop.
“Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D., Ill.), a member of the House subcommittee that investigated the Raddatz case, said there may have been insufficient vetting of Mr. Raddatz’s story by the president’s aides. But, she added, “To focus on that is kind of a ‘gotcha.’””
Yeah, focusing on the FALSE scare tactics wouldn’t be good journalism.
Why does that picture remind me of my three dogs when I pretend to toss a ball?
Do you think the media would swallow such a lame excuse if the president were a non-democrat?
Obama Bin Lyin’
I heard Obama is getting his speech training from ... John Lovitt !!!
Yeah - THATS the ticket !!!
Good stuff...

That would explain his *tone*.
Liar in Chief.
We are supposed to trust our health care to the guy who tells us doctors get $30,000-40,000 for a leg amputation when they get $700-$1,500. Can he be any bigger a liar and/or an idiot
LOL
Somebody ought to contact Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for a quote on that one...and twist the rhetorical knife by mentioning a blue dress, too.
Cheers!
I know that story is a lie. It makes you wonder how someone like Edwards was able to get into the hospital room with him in the first place. Did he know the kid? Secondly, if this were to happen, how old was the kid to where he was up on health care issues?
Have you ever wondered how all these politicians seem to be around events such as these? They must be on call 24/7 and have access to a fleet of private jets so they can rush to the aid of some unfortunate soul in time to hear their dying words or provide fake comfort. These pols stories are just that, stories. Or, more correctly, outright lies.
