The White House has their own blog on the offical White House website (www.whitehouse.gov). This is a useful way to reach people in this age of social networking and technology. If you watch Fox News or read some of the more conservative blogs, you might have noticed the lies that are being spread about President Obama's plan for healthcare for Americans.
This is very counter-productive to our society, and it is time we have health insurance for everyone, paid for by government and more wealthy members of society. After all, we made them.
The White House communication office put out a call on one of their blogs giving Americans a chance to report the lies and fear mongering about healthcare.
This is part of the White House blog post....
"For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them. He has even proposed eight consumer protections relating specifically to the health insurance industry.
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
I applaud this bold move by President Obama and the White House staff. Do your part, and help report these liars so we can get on with health care reform.
