Four Videos Serve as Dose of Reality on Obamacare

The Heritage Foundation has four excellent videos each taking on an injurious and troublesome aspect of Obamacare that are a must view for those looking for ammunition with which to shoot down the president’s policies.

Rather than debate the substance, the White House is in full campaign mode in order to label any opposition to its government-heavy health reform agenda as “misinformation” or “myths you’ve heard.” Case in point: The White House now has a taxpayer-funded Web site to “reality check” credible criticisms and arguments. Problem is the videos “debunking” each “myth” are low on facts. See our response below.

First up is a video addressing the many millions that will lose their health insurance quite despite what the president keeps telling us. Far from being able to keep our insurance “if we like it,” the truth is that 88 million will lose their policies whether they like it or not upon the passage of Obamacare. Next up it the long history of rationing that Medicare has as well as its horrid tradition of low-quality care for enrollees. Then comes a video informing us that Medicare is in trouble if Obamacare passes and finally we’ll see how Obama’s policies will hurt small businesses all across the country. Go on over to the Heritage Foundation’s Fact Checking the White House page and take a look.
