For months, Forbes contributor, Manhattan Institute fellow and former Mitt Romney health care advisor Avik Roy has been waging a one-man disinformation campaign against the Affordable Care Act. Now, after enduring a thorough beat down over his warnings about a looming Obamacare "rate shock," Roy is back to proclaim "Romney's Revenge." The former Governor, Roy […]

Conservative pundits, think tanks and bloggers are cheering a new analysis which claims to show "Why the 'Young Invincibles' Won't Participate in the ObamaCare Exchanges." Even with the Affordable Care Act's subsidies to help uninsured Americans purchase coverage, David Hogberg of the National Center for Public Policy Research argues, three million young adults ages 18 […]

From the very beginning, one massive irony has loomed over the Obamacare debate. The elephant in the room? Health care is worst where Republicans poll best. From access to care and insurance coverage to the health of their residents, red states generally produce the most dismal rankings. And while Democratic-led states are now embracing the […]

With the ink from President Obama's signature on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) barely dry, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in March 2010 declared, "I think the slogan will be 'repeal and replace', 'repeal and replace," adding, "No one that I know in the Republican conference in the Senate believes that no action is […]

"Death panels" are back. Just in time for Congress' August recess, conservatives are resurrecting Politifact's 2009 Lie of the Year to once again rile up right-wing rage.

But in attributing the 40 Affordable Care Act repeal votes, the threats to shut down the government over […]

Fox News is having a field day with its new poll regarding the Affordable Care Act, gloating that majorities of respondents want Obamacare repealed and call its implementation "a joke." Predictably, Fox does not set the record straight about Americans' misperceptions of the ACA. Instead, the network further spins the cycle of conservative disinformation about […]

They say everything is bigger in Texas. That's certainly the case when it comes to the mega-failure that is the Lone Star State's 46th ranked health care system. Six million people or 24 percent of all Texans--and 30 percent of those ages 18 to 64--have no health insurance. Twenty-two Texas counties are among the nation's […]

On Tuesday night, CNN Out Front host Erin Burnett officially joined the ranks of Barack Obama's inquisitors with her special, "The Truth about Benghazi." But for two years, she's been serving as the network's fear-monger about the U.S. national debt. "It has been 730 days since the U.S. lost its top credit rating," Burnett complained […]

In recent weeks, pollsters and pundits have been wrestling with a seeming contradiction at the heart of the country's abortion debate.
