In response to ""Five right-wing myths about healthcare reform, and the facts" From Salon -- (link)" by TWuG

Those are some pretty weak debunkings.

1: "There is a kernel of truth at the root of this attack..."

2: "the reform legislation would require insurance plans to cover preventive care... which could include Planned Parenthood.

3: "the IBD line is literally true"

4: Sure they can! Because Medicare is popular! [how fiscally successful is it?]

5: Well, maybe, but private insurance does it right now!

The article doesn't give much in the way of "these are lies because...", but mostly "well, they're sort of true, but a little exaggerated."

That says to me it's a reasonable, well-thought out article. Not everything is 'wrong wrong wrong' -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 12:30 1

that's because they're some pretty weak assertions to begin with. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 12:25 2
