Columnist: 10 More 'You Lie' Moments On Health Care

South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson was taken to the woodshed by Congressional Democrats for his "You Lie!" outburst during Barack Obama's recent speech on health care, but what the liberal media is failing to focus on is the fact that Wilson was telling the truth. Obama is lying about his government-run plan.

In fact, Obama told at least 10 lies during his speech, according to columnist John Hawkins.

From his column:

Unfortunately, this sort of deception has been the rule, not the exception in the Democrats' health care push. In fact, Barack Obama has sold health care by saying, in effect, "Anybody who has anything negative to say about health care reform is just spreading myths."

It's a shame that Barack Obama has chosen to go this way, because our health care system does desperately need to be reformed and conservatives would be very willing to work with the Democrats to do it. In fact, in a recent poll of 74 conservative bloggers, every single one of them said that they'd be "willing to support health care reform that primarily emphasized market based reforms." If Obama were to take that approach or even if he were to simply focus on helping the 8-10 million Americans who want health insurance but can't afford it, I suspect he'd have no trouble at all getting strong bipartisan support for a bill.

Here is the list compiled by Hawkins:

1. The President is working with Republicans.
2. Republicans haven't suggested a plan for health care.
3. The public option won't put the insurance industry out of business and lead to a government takeover of health care.
4. Medicare won't be cut to fund this health care bill.
5. The health care plan won't add "one dime to our deficits either now or in the future."
6. Preventative care will be required in these bills and it'll save money.
7. Health care reform will help create more jobs.
8. Abortion won't be covered under the bill.
9. This bill won't lead to rationing of health care and people being denied life saving operations.
10. Obama's "Plan" doesn't have these problems you're talking about.
