NYT's Seelye Busts 'Myths' About Obama-Care that Are Actually Valid

NYT's Seelye Busts 'Myths' About Obama-Care that Are Actually Valid: "New York Times reporter Katharine Seelye insisted that many valid criticisms of Obama-care (that abortion would be covered, that illegal immigrants would get taxpayer-funded care, and that private insurance would be eliminated) are simply 'myths' believed by Republicans.

Obama-care beat reporter Seelye's Tuesday post on the nytimes.com “Prescriptions” blog was adapted into a brief story in Wednesday's print edition, “Who Believes in Health Care Myths?”

Seelye sneakily used an Indiana University study to debunk “myths” Republicans and independent believe about health care, many of which are in fact up for debate.

Here are the statements that independents believed and disbelieved, with assessments of each statement provided in parentheses by Aaron Carroll, director of the university’s Center for Health Policy and Professionalism Research, which helped design the survey with the university’s Center for Bioethics."
