Recommended: Fact-Checking the President on Health Insurance

There is no question that President Obama's health care speech was a masterful piece of political showmanship. But despite the brilliant oratory, apparently some of his facts just don't stand up to scrutiny. I recommend Scott Harrington's piece Fact-Checking the President on Health Insurance in the Sept 14 issue of The Wall Street Journal. The two cases of insurance company abuse he mentioned were certainly heart-wrenching. Too bad that apparently they weren't accurate.
