Don’t believe all the critics

Don’t believe all the critics

EDITOR:

John Boehner, the Republican leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, has claimed that reform would lead to government takeover of health care, cuts in medicare benefits and federal funding of abortion.

All of these have been debunked by non-partisan fact checks and refuted by organizations such as Catholics United, an organization that opposes abortion and has declared these claims misleading.

The president’s plan will bring stability and security to those with insurance, affordable coverage to those who do not have it, and lower the cost of care.
