Obama continues to portray himself as a myth-buster keeping the healthcare debate honest. Yet he repeated several of the same inaccuracies that various sources corrected him on after his town hall meeting Tuesday in New Hampshire.
After that event, the AARP issued a statement refuting Obama's claim the organization had endorsed his healthcare reform plan. The AARP has not endorsed any healthcare reform proposal.
“It does cost revenue, as the Congressional Budget Office numbers show,” Gerald Prante of the Tax Foundation tells Newsmax. “So you have to pay for that somehow, and the House bill actually includes a surtax that would be imposed on high-income taxpayers, those making above $350,000."
Would there be enough money raised from high-income earners, or would the Democratic plan necessitate a tax increase on the middle class?
