I know that sounds so stupid doesn't it? Yet I heard several MSM reiterate that meme... "Trump claims Obama himself set up the wire tapping"! YUP this SAME MSM that accepted without ANY question Obama's statement:"
I don’t have to explain to you that nearly 46 million Americans don’t have health insurance coverage today"
Not ONE political fact checking organization questioned this figure of 46 million!
Politifact.org said Obama was "sloppy" when he counted 10 million ILLEGALS as part of the "46 million"
So Obama is sloppy by saying it is for "Americans" but not accounting for the noncitizens, which leaves him off by about 22 percent.
Number of those without health insurance about 46 million
But NEITHER they or ANY MSM went on to question the remaining 36 million figure.
For example why didn't anyone ask... how come 14 million people eligible for Medicaid weren't enrolled?
It was because these 14 million didn't KNOW And now with ACA and the 2,000 page monstrosity that required the "stupidity of the American voter" to get passed. 9.1 million of the supposedly 20 million are those same people that were qualified BEFORE ACA!!!

Subtract those 14 million from 36 million leaves 22 million!
Who makes up those 22 million????
Well 18 million are people under 34 years who make over $50,000 THAT never wanted health insurance their employer offered!
FACTS...
CRISIS OF THE UNINSURED: 2009
Finally what about the 5.8 million veterans qualify for cost-free health care services based on a compensable service-connected condition or other qualifying factors.
Determine Cost of Care - Health Benefits
So again... here the ABC evening news lead story "President Trump says Obama wiretapped Trump"...
Explosive headlines!!! How stupid and you Trump haters demand PROOF!
Where were you when Obama LIED about 46 million???
