If you are going to make up facts, You have to be a better Writer

"Sick kids denied specialty care due to #Obamacare," his Twitter feed proclaimed on Saturday, linking to a conservative blog post based on a TV news report out of Seattle. His Facebook page weighed in on the same story, calling it "heartbreaking" and vowing that House Republicans "will continue working to scrap this broken law."
There's just one problem: The shocking claim — that the President's health reforms resulted in sick children being denied care — was flat-out false. Which Boehner's staff must have known, assuming they actually read the material they were helping to spread across the Internet."

There is a problem with the problem. What the writer said was untrue, was true, again from the text of the article. Maybe the author needs to be a better reader as well. Saying that the children were treated and that the children were denied treatment can both be true. That ObamaCare denied treatment is true. That the Hospital to which they were taken treated them anyway, is also true.

If the fact that they were treated, is the same as the fact that people without health insurance were treated at emergency room prior to Obama care. It is ObamaCare itself that is the failure, not the health system.
