MORE uninsured in Kansas? Four Pinocchios! (Obama, speech, claim, support)

[Gurbie]

Tim Heulskamp's stump speech includes the claim that, thanks to Obamacare, there are now more uninsured people in Kansas now, than before the law was enacted.

Problem is, when Fact Check's Glenn Kessler asked Tim's office for evidence to support that claim... they couldn't produce any!

For Heulskamp's whopper, he earns Fact Checker's coveted FOUR PINOCCHIOS!

but he’s not entitled to conjure phony facts out of thin air.

This should go for everyone claiming numbers about the ACA....not just the right....

Conservatives have a problem with the truth about the ACA. It seems to come up again and again by their own hands.

It has. Look at all of the "pinnochios" Obama and others have gotten.

Why? That's the Obama administration's responsibility.

I think you mistook which partisan(s) I was referring to. (I edited... was not referring to you but to post #3)

Agreed! But "Everybody's doing it" is a dodge, not a justification.

But the point of the article is, Heulskamp's making assertions, and is unable to provide any evidence to back them up.

Hence... four Pinocchios!

How about four of "those" every time the POTUS opens his pie hole.

I keep writing this because it is true. conservatives were completely wrong about their ACA is doomed predictions. I mean they didn't get one right. Not one of their lies, fantasies about the how the law was doomed panned out.

But for conservatives being wrong is not an option. Make believe and lying are options for conservatives but not reflection and changing one's mind.

conservatives know that the ACA disaster is off in the future in the future it will all collapse.
