Watch Out for Fake News

A recent letter to the editor of the WilcoSun touted a website called ObamaCareFacts as a definitive source of information about Obamacare. A little searching shows that the website is a shill for Obamacare and that their income comes from marketing firms that connect people to insurance companies.

ObamaCareFacts is an internet marketing firm with no particular expertise in healthcare or insurance. It appears most, or all, their revenue comes from Health Network Group, LLC, another marketing firm that only connects consumers with health insurers that focus on Obamacare policies.

Tom DeMichele: Head Author and Content Strategist for (dog) Media Solutions project’s including ObamaCareFacts.com. (All content on this site is written by Tom DeMichele except when otherwise noted). DeMichele also runs another website called factmyth where he states Reagan never said “Government is the problem”. That is easily shown to be false by looking at Reagan’s 1st inaugural address where he did say “Government is the problem”.

ObamaCareFacts reports roughly 20 million Americans have been covered under the ACA’s coverage provisions between Medicaid, the Marketplace, and children staying on their parents plan since 2010.

The Obama administration claims 20 million more Americans today have health care due to Obamacare. The reality is that when you look at the actual net gains over the past two years since the program was fully implemented, the number is 14 million, and of that, 11.8 million (84 percent) were people given the “gift” of Medicaid.

This number, 20 million has been completely discredited by the Heritage Foundation (http://dailysignal.com/2017/01/13/why-obamacares-20-million-number-is-fake/).

Therefore, DeMichele and ObamaCareFacts has no credibility!

Beware false news both in print and on the internet!
