One of the most frequently recited distortions from President Obama is his claim that we have a health care crisis where 47 million Americans can’t get health care coverage! FALSE!
It is a myth that 47 million Americans can’t get health insurance! The Employees Policies Institute has published a report that shows that of this 47 million:
18 million who can afford medical insurance but don't want it.
8.4 million between the ages of 18 and 25 who think they are invulnerable.
8 million children who qualify for coverage under some program but haven't been signed up.
3.5 million adults who qualify for a government program but who have not signed up.
12.6 million illegal aliens who are not supposed to be here.
9.4 million who are in between jobs and only temporarily uninsured.
This report clearly shows that there is really no health care insurance crisis! Yet, Congress is being rushed to pass legislation based on false information!
This is a perfect example of you tell a lie often enough and people will accept the lie as fact.
