Do you think OBAMA's LIE in recent speech was properly covered by the media? [link] _ _ _ _ _?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
President Barack Obama, seeking to make a case for health-insurance regulation, told a poignant story to a joint session of Congress last week. An Illinois man getting chemotherapy was dropped from his insurance plan when his insurer discovered an unreported gallstone the patient hadn’t known about.
"They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it," the president said in the nationally televised address.
In fact, the man, Otto S. Raddatz, didn’t die because the insurance company rescinded his coverage once he became ill, an act known as recission. The efforts of his sister and the office of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan got Mr. Raddatz’s policy reinstated within three weeks of his April 2005 rescission and secured a life-extending stem-cell transplant for him. Mr. Raddatz died this year, nearly four years after the insurance showdown.
Obama aides say the president got the essence of the story correct. Mr. Raddatz was dropped from his insurance plan weeks before a scheduled stem-cell transplant.
In a letter, Babs Waldman, medical director of the Illinois attorney general’s office, excoriated the insurer, Fortis Health, which is now Assurant Health. Mr. Raddatz "suddenly faces not only life-threatening illness but now the inability to afford the only treatment that may help him," Dr. Waldman wrote to the insurer May 3, 2005.
Peter Duckler, a spokesman for Assurant Health, said the company "can never comment on an insured’s coverage due to confidentiality issues."
The patient’s sister, Peggy M. Raddatz, testified before the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee June 16 that her brother ultimately received treatment that "extended his life approximately three years." Nowhere in the hearing did she say her brother died because of the delay. Ms. Raddatz didn’t return calls seeking comment.

Come on now the Media defends Obama that’s just the way it is. I glad you researched for yourself you can not trust government or Media. Keep it up. Hopefully enough Americans wake up and see things the way they really are.

so no lie
its a non issue, why would they report it, it may seem important to the rabid right but they also believe in creationism, so they cant be taken seriously

yes they were even exaggerated by fox

the point being, big insurance can rescind your coverage at any time they choose to.

What he said in his speech was based off of an article published by Slate. Slate got it wrong. Obama didn’t. Of course you didn’t at all and the WSJ didn’t until about 6 paragraphs down, bother to mention that Obama didn’t purposefully give information that turned out to be inaccurate, but was simply quoting a news story that was later shown to be inaccurate.
Typical Republican intellectual dishonesty

I didn’t read the whole rant because I read most of the link, so I’ll say Mr. Obama misspoke…you remember that, right? That was every time W open hs mouth…I’ll give him this one, because he doesn’t do all his own research, and someone didn’t get it quite right. Okay? You win this one, we lose…MOVE ON…

He might have been mistaken, but he didn’t "lie". I’m sure his aides told him that the man died because of an insurance company dropping him.
It still kinda sounds like the delay in treatment mighta caused the man’s death.
All I’m saying is… he might have been mistaken, but he wasn’t lying. There are plenty of horror stories to chose from.

LIe? Lie? What lie? He was just reading his tellea machine

Is anything ever covered in the general media correctly anymore when politics and relevant information is concerned?

How funny when Obama lies he misspoke
You Obots are pathetic.
EndTheFedThereYouSeeItTonight | Sep 26, 2009
It’s hard to pick up all his lies because the cocksucker lies in every sentence he speaks

Why even go there about his Speech?? The fact of the matter is Obama wants the health care companies to play fair. He is trying to come up with ways to do that. You may not agree on how we are going to pay for it, but I didn’t see blog after blog on George Bush running this country debt through the roof in Iraq. He went into a job that was a mess. Stop trying to tear him down!
