Health care reform myths

Media Matters for America has an excellent piece debunking the most common health care reform myths.

Included in Media Matters list are:

  1. There is no health care crisis
  2. Health care reform will impose rationing
  3. Health care reform provides for euthanasia, "death panel"
  4. Health care reform legislation will cover undocumented immigrants
  5. Health care reform will raise your taxes
  6. Health care reform would tax all small businesses
  7. Health care reform would add $1 trillion-plus to deficit
  8. House bill would ban private individual insurance
  9. Obama said he didn't read House bill
  10. Co-ops are an adequate substitute for a public option
  11. Obama is pushing a system like the U.K. and Canada
  12. Obama, Dems pushing "socialized medicine"
  13. Prominent opponents of health care reform are credible
  14. Government can't run a health care program
I've put a link to this handy reference in the resources list on the left.
