What do you make of this paragraph taken straight from the White House website?

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain e-mails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an e-mail or see something on the Web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

it is a recruiting add for the new Brown shirts, I wonder how many reporting trolls will use this, will they turn in their parents if the check is late or if mom doesn’t bring them beer and pizza? It is about conrtol.

    It’s disturbing how a speech Obama makes in his own words claiming that he is for single payer healthcare is somehow "disinformation".
    How is that possible?
    Isn’t this what we see from a socialist regime?

    Sounds right. There’s a lot of BS, especially going around via chain email.

    Sounds like Obama is trying to force his lies down our throats. He’ll probably spam anybody you report with pro health care bill email.

    Of course you can keep your current health care plan… just don’t ask them for how long… The latest bill had them being phased out in five years… (sec 102 for anyone with the desire to educate themselves)

    Patriot… I have no reason to believe that isn’t exactly what Obama wants… make health insurance cheaper, make sure everyone is covered etc… The bill currently in the works does NOT do that… The CBO stated that the current bill will not save any money, the current bill spells flat out that you WILL lose your current insurance and be on the government plan in five years… the current bill allows the government FULL access to YOUR bank accounts…

    Well, it is true. There is a lot of information about reform out there that is just plain wrong.

    I am always amazed how many Americans seem not to be aware about the issues with healthcare relying on FOX and other sources to spread misinformation about the healthcare system of the USA and those abroad.

    First of all, Obama wants to make insurance more available to all and change the system so that it is cheaper. He also wants change so that the insurance companies find it harder to get out of paying for treatment. The system he is proposing looks similar to that which works in Holland and Switzerland where private companies are involved in providing insurance.
    Second, of course universal health-cover sucks. That is why we in Western Europe have it. We think, hmm, our healthcare system sucks. I know, lets keep it. I guess that is the same with Japan and Canada as well.
    Third, Obama campaigned on reforming the healthcare system. He said he wanted to make insurance more available and he was elected by the American people to do this.

    FACT – the US has higher death rates for kids both for kids aged under one and those under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.
    FACT – American insurance companies push up prices and work to stop paying out claims on those they cover.
    FACT – the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.
    That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage.

    Last of all if you do not like the policies that Obama was elected to bring in, he can always be voted out of office in 2012.

    Hmm…can’t decide whether it is born out of inherent liberal paranoia or true concern for accurate dissesmination of information. My thought is the former.
