Coming up 10 years 10 days from the greatest attack on the USA, far exceeding Pearl Harbor I started posting (with links, substantiation, not my personal opinion) on this forum.
I chose this name "Healthmyths" because I like millions of Americans were bombarded by the MSM support of Obama's exaggerations to help pass Obamacare.
Obama said: "Nearly 46 million Americans don't have health insurance coverage today."
A gross exaggeration as proven by Politifact who said
"So Obama is sloppy by saying it is for "Americans" but not accounting for the noncitizens, which leaves him off by about 22 percent."
10 million of the 46 million were illegals leaving 36 million.
But wait.... of those 36 million HOW many really didn't have any possibility of getting health coverage?
FACT: 14 million people PER THE CENSUS were counted as "UNINSURED" BUT THEY WERE eligible for Medicaid/SCHIP they just didn't know it because OBAMA's administration never went after them! Think about that... means instead of
46 million Obama state... it is now down to 22 million Americans without coverage. BUT wait... do all those 22 million WANT health insurance?
18 million people that make over $50k and UNDER 34 don't want health insurance even though many of their employers offer!
That leave 4 million! NOT 46 million which was used to pass Obamacare! But the MSM continues to use 46 million...
Another grossly exaggerated statement that was totally blown way way out of proportion!
Obama claimed:
FALSEHOOD: President Barack Obama made misleading and exaggerated claims in a speech boasting of the accomplishments of the Affordable Care Act. “129 million people who could have otherwise been denied or faced discrimination now have access to coverage.”
FACT:!
But most of those individuals already had “access to coverage” — they got it through their employers before the ACA’s marketplaces were launched.
But in BOTH these gross exaggerations... WAS Obama EVER held accountable by the MSM?
Of course not. To this day the MSM will tout 46 million uninsured over half Americans have pre-existing conditions (as if these people didn't have coverage!)!!!!
Total HEALTHMYTHS!!!

Number of those without health insurance about 46 million
It's a statistic often quoted by Democrats during the health care debate: 46 million people without health insurance. "N
