Myths of Health Care Reform - Addressed by the AARP

The AARP came out with a friendly little video covering several of the myths that many Republicans are trying to pass off as fact...Before people freak out about any possible health care reform, I think it would be a good idea to at least have a cursory understanding of what's being proposed.

You can also look at their fact sheet here, which includes:

  • Myth: Health care reform is socialized medicine.
  • Myth: Health care reform means rationed care.
  • Myth: Health care reform will hurt Medicare.
  • Myth: Health care reform is too expensive - we can't afford it.
  • Myth: Health care reform means the government can make life-and-death decisions for you.
