3. PolitiFact: Chelsea Clinton mischaracterizes Bernie Sanders' health care plan

Feb 2016

Chelsea has not acted in an honorable manner in this campaign.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jan/14/chelsea-clinton/chelsea-clinton-mischaracterizes-bernie-sanders-he/

Hitting the campaign trail on her mother’s behalf, Chelsea Clinton attacked Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ universal health care plan.

"Sen. Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare, and dismantle private insurance," Clinton said in New Hampshire Jan. 12. "I don't want to empower Republican governors to take away Medicaid, to take away health insurance for low-income and middle-income working Americans. And I think very much that's what Sen. Sanders' plan would do."

The Sanders campaign and his supporters swiftly called Clinton’s statements inaccurate, so we decided to look into them ourselves — in particular, her claim that Sanders’ plan would "empower" governors "to take away health insurance for low-income and middle-income working Americans."

Given that Sanders’ proposed plan specifically calls health insurance an entitlement for all, we found that this is a mischaracterization at best.

Unless you think Obamacare is the be all end all program for providing health care, I find your question bizarre.

I was just wondering if she was next in the line of royalty we are creating.

The Krugman types and other dipshits seem to imply that the country called Canada is "fairy land" or a nation of "unicorns." True that for all the other industrialized nations who miraculously provide puppies and rainbows for their citizens.

when she sent her daughter out for the first time to smear a rival candidate my lying about his positions. When she went out in NH to tell them lies about Bernie's health care plan. Woo-hoo!
Has nothing to with them personally, just the actions they do. Those actions tell who they are. Both her and her daughter have no problem going out and lying about others. Isn't that sweet, mommy and baby sharing. How precious!
