More On Jerry Bowyer's NightTalk Death Panel

View the original

Thought I'd spend a little time fact-checking Jerry's NightTalk appearance. First on the so-called "Death Panels."

Jerry, as you may recall, said that Sarah Palin was "sort of onto something" regarding the death panels.

Uh, no. Politifact.org, a fact-checking subsidiary of the St Petersburg Times has found this to be such a huge lie, they use their "Pants on fire" label:
We have read all 1,000-plus pages of the Democratic bill and examined versions in various committees. There is no panel in any version of the health care bills in Congress that judges a person's "level of productivity in society" to determine whether he or she is "worthy" of health care.

Don't tell me that the author


Don't tell me that the author of "The Bush Boom" was wrong about something.
