"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 [email protected]."

I don't see anything in that or anything on the page about "snitching" on anyone. Just wanting to know about what "info" is getting passed around as the "truth". It says nothing about telling them WHO is sending the info, just WHAT is being said.

Clicking on a couple of the links you posted I can see what they are talking about. Too many folks getting their info second, third or forth hand from people who have an obvious agenda. Unfortunately this has become the norm for politics these days. With reguard to the health care issue, I see BS from both dems and repubs. Problem is that too many folks buy into the crap they are spreading, and then rail on about how the other side is trying to screw over the country. Guess what? Its smoke and mirrors. While the people are divided, those in power just continue on their merry way doing what they want, not what the people who put them in office want the to do.

As I've said before, its not a dem/repub or lib/conservative thing, its an AMERICAN thing. To hell with the parties, do what is best for the country. With regard to the health care issue, yeah, there is a lot that is broke. So why don't these "leaders" sit down together and figure out how to fix it instead of playing the blame game trying to win political points. And yes, we are part of the problem. If you let them BS you and do not check out the facts from several independant sources you can be easily lead to aid in spreading disinformation and further dividing the people. Bout time to tell our elected officials to go stuff it. Vote all the bums out next time and start over.

The site you referred to is just propaganda too. The healthcare bill hasn't been written yet. Linda Douglass doesn't know what is going to be in the final bill. But looking at the house bill I can see that although it may not be the intention of the white house to eliminate private insurance but anybody with at least a 9th grade education could tell you that private insurance companies cannot compete with a government run insurance plan and will eventually go under. I have worked for the government since 1980 and from my experience it is the most inefficient conglomerate on the face of this earth. I would not want the government running my health care insurance.
