The subject of the latest debunked Obamacare horror story is finally talking, and of course it's to Fox News. Julie Boonstra is a Michigan resident with leukemia, and she appeared in an Americans For Prosperity ad against Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Gary Peters, saying that Obamacare made her cancer treatment unaffordable because of out of pocket spending.
Subsequent fact checking, though, found that her monthly premium payments were essentially cut in half, and the limits the law imposes on out of pocket expenses means that at worse, she'd break even between those costs and her premium saving. The ad also implied she lost access to her doctor, though fact checking determined that her doctor is included in the plan she picked on the exchange.

(53,661 posts)Have you ever watched when real time events didn't match their totally biased script on their teleprompters?
I've seen in it in real time and they go completely to pieces. They are just going along and then the feed from the real world comes in and they're wrong and the crew look to the right and the left when reality takes a turn that doesn't fit.
Like the classic Bill O'Reolly blowup on Inside Edition:

OLYMPIA (AP) - An anti-religion billboard in the Washington state Capitol has started a firestorm on national television.
Fox News' Bill O'Reilly had an eight-minute segment on his show Tuesday night decrying the inclusion of the atheistic billboard along with a holiday tree and a Christian nativity scene...
Gregoire spokesman Pearse Edwards says the office has been getting about 200 calls an hour, as well as e-mails..
The Capitol has had a holiday tree for 19 years. In 2006, it was joined by a menorah. A local real estate agent sued the state to allow the nativity display depicting the birth of Jesus.
Gregoire, a Democrat, and Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna put out a joint statement Wednesday noting that the federal lawsuit led the state to create a policy allowing groups to sponsor a display "regardless of that individual's or group's views."

She later got death threats. Of course, she amd both of our female senators and our state representatives who voted for the ACA also got threats from across the state and country. Some of those individuals are still in prison.
