isn't true about health care plan

Let's see. According to President Obama and the Democratic Party: 1. Government-run health care will reduce costs. Not true. The plan will be paid for by raising taxes on individuals and small businesses.

2. If Americans like their present health care coverage, they can keep it. Not true. It will be so expensive and difficult (due to penalties and taxes) for Americans to keep their own coverage that they will be forced into the government-run plan.

3. Medicare cuts won't affect seniors. Not true. Medicare Advantage will be cut, reducing benefits to seniors. Doctors will be limiting the number of Medicare patients they see.

4. Transparency and open government in the Obama administration. Not true. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid held meetings behind closed doors to rush through the health care reform. Currently, the Senate also spent time locked behind closed doors negotiating. The list goes on and on.
