FACT CHECK: Premiums would rise under Obama plan
This so-called fact check seems to have fewer facts than the facts they are checking. At any rate, the headline is the important thing for people to talk about around the water cooler, along with the impending socialist government takeover of health care and death panels which were also thoroughly vetted and confirmed by the same "liberal media," I'm sure.

Notice the advertisers in the
Notice the advertisers in the comments section. That's what it is all about. The KNS comments are not "community building." They are an embarrassment to the community and serve to only drive impressions on the ads that rotate there. Nothing says revenue like a racist diatribe.

How about a fact check that shows the difference between premiums under HCR and premiums without it? That would be something unbiased and useful, so I guess it's out.

BTW, I got my premium notice for my self-insurance plan. 14% increase. Times we went to the doctor last year: 2 for our son, both were checkups.
