Obama Used Faulty Anecdote in Speech to Congress

President's speech writers appear to have been informed by erroneous media reports, including an article on Slate.com, about a man who was dropped from his insurance plan and later died.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama, seeking to make a case for health-insurance regulation, told a poignant story to a joint session of Congress last week. An Illinois man getting chemotherapy was dropped from his insurance plan when his insurer discovered an unreported gallstone the patient hadn't known about.

"They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it," the president said in the nationally televised address.

In fact, the man, Otto S. Raddatz, didn't die because the insurance company rescinded his coverage once he became ill, an act known as recission.

Hmmm...what do you call someone who repeatedly uses "faulty anecdotes"?

your black president. sit back and endure it.

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,


1. Thousands each day die this death needlessly.
2. Thats another reason we need healthcare as a right, not some insurance company denieing health coverage on some poor innocent victim.
3. I want more than ever for all known medical insurance providers to die off.
4. Screw the bastards!, everyone of them!
5. Who should be given that much power over people lives.
6. Some dumb bastard, sitting behind some desk across the country, who doesn't even know all the facts on a victim.
7. This HAS to change, and if Obama can get this done, he will have a wonderful legacy.
8. Stay tuned for more words of wisdom on this.
9. CWN has plenty to say about it.
10. Or wait till they the insurance companies have told you you can't have that procedure then.

You are too funny! You want to exchange some insurance company guy making decisions over your life for some government beauraucrat making decisions over your life. From my perpsective, the only differenc is that I don't have to pay for the insurance guy or YOUR problems with him. If obama has his way, then I willbe required by law to pay for YOUR care and feeding when YOU can well afford to pay for it yourself!

1. Yeah you lawded huh, over people dieing?
2. With an insurance guy, he's trying to cut away any loss.
3. The Gov guy isn't required to do so, he will have to help people.
4. What do you pay now for others insurance?
5., I need some exact numbers?
6. You only pay your premiums.
7. Bully could add a better answer me thinks, one you would understand, seeing he has such a nice way of putting it, to make it easy for you to understand.

He's what they call a mullotto.....white and black.....but then, I don't care if he's purple. What bothers me are the creepy people he aligns himself with and then puts into high offices.

One thing for sure, you can darn sure bet our borders are going to remain in a mess and not get cleaned up....Not by this president.
