White House: Operation Fishy


From WhiteHouse.gov "If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." If that is not Orwellian enough, they describe what they want you to report to them:
Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.

Speaking of Disinformation - This promise is repeated on the White House website:
For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them. He has even proposed eight consumer protections relating specifically to the health insurance industry.

Keith Hennessey explains why that is a promise quite difficult to keep:
CBO estimates that about 10 million individuals who would be covered through an employer’s plan under current law would not have access to that coverage under the draft legislation because some employers would choose not to offer it.
The CBO is spreading disinformation, someone better let the White House know.
