Which is the most despicable lie from the Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi Healthcare camp?
1. "If you like it you can keep it"
FACTCHECK!
To be fair, Pelosi's bill does not literally outlaw your current insurance company, nor does it outlaw your employer from continuation of offering the current options. But that's about where it ends. The current bills are so disruptive to the current healthcare cost structure that it is absolutely irresponsible for the President to be claiming "if you like it you can keep it" since in all likelihood the decision will not be yours to make. Moreover, everyone who has looked closely at the design of Pelosi's bill is lying if they don't admit it is designed to run the private insurers out of business leaving us bankrupt with a gov't-run single-payer system.
Don't believe me? Check out these two links and you decide:

2.Obama and Pelosi will provide healthcare more affordable by reducing its cost.
FACTCHECK!
According to the Bipartisan CBO, which usually slightly underestimates cost is telling everyone their bill increases the cost of healthcare from the status quo (i.e. doing nothing):

3. The protestors at town halls are un-American do not represent a bonafide grass roots movement as they have been sent by the insurance companies.
FACTCHECK!
Not true, but judge for yourself:

By the way, here is staged info on Obama's event in NH:
The cute little girl who asked Obama how do kids know what is true and why do people want a new health care system? Her name is Julia Hall and she's 11 years old. Her mother is an attorney, Kathleen Manning Hall. On Kathleen Hall's Facebook page there's a picture of her with Barack Obama. She has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama, and her law firm has contributed thousands more. Now you tell me what the chances are that she was randomly called on at the ObamaEvent.

5. Tort Reform only represents 1% of total healthcare costs.
FACTCHECK!
This tort reform estimate grossly underestimate a small subset of direct payouts to lawyers which as of 2003 was about $50 billion annually and has grown. Moreover it does not include the inurance doctors must pay and the shortage of doctors that result due to liabilty of specific types of doctors. No one wants to remove penalties for doctors who screw up, but rewarding lawyers with million dollar awards cannot be helping to make healthcare more affordable.

6. I can rely on FACTCHECK sites to sort out what is fact or fiction in the healthcare debate.
FACTCHECK!
No. Do your own research. Partisan interests on both sides, though mainly for Obama & Pelosi's benefit have manipulated these pieces to "lobby" for their cause. Here is one conservative site that explains how it works:
