After two weeks of Democratic lawmakers getting an earful from their constituents on health care reform, President Obama conducted a town hall meeting with a much friendlier audience on Tuesday. He promised the middle class would not have to pay for overhauling our health care system, that rationing would never occur and that private insurers would face competition and not extinction with the creation of a government option. But is any of that true? Health care expert Grace-Marie Turner of the Galen Institute says Obama simply refuses to tell the truth. She says every country that goes down the government-run health care route has been forced to deny or delay vital treatments leading to premature deaths for the elderly, that middle class Americans will certainly foot the bill for this and that the government option will eventually be the only option.
Listen to Turner’s rebuttal to Obama’s lies and tell us what you think.
