Facts Are Stubborn Things
Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, "facts are stubborn things."
Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.
In this video, Linda Douglass, the communications director for the White House’s Health Reform Office, addresses one example that makes it look like the President intends to "eliminate" private coverage, when the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
For the record,
the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them. He has even proposed
eight consumer protections relating specifically to the health insurance industry.
