SocraticGadfly: The Wall Street Journal’s BIG lies on healthcare

The Wall Street Journal’s BIG lies on healthcare

The lies in an opinion piece start with the claim 9 of 10 people under 65 are insured already.

The claim that states with “guaranteed issue” of insurance are struggling? Well, deductibility of corporate-offered insurance is a federal, not state tax issue, so already, the WSJ is comparing apples and oranges. As for costs, well, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts have high overall costs of living, so what do you expect?
