Excellent collection of fact-checking articles by PolitiFact, exposing false statements about health care reform by a wide range of politicians, media pundits and chain emails. Falsehoods from both sides of the political aisle are debunked thoroughly -- including a false claim from President Obama about health insurance profits.
Politifact does it again. Be sure to click on the truth-o-meters to read the full articles for each statement. My favorite falsehood is from former New York lieutenant governer Betsy McCaughey, who claims that end-of-life counseling will be required for Medicare patients - she gets a well deserved Pants on Fire for this blatant distortion.
