I know she gives Merc a hard-on with her insightful perspective, but I thought you were more open-minded to the facts.

At the very least, you forgot to add that it is certainly a partisan piece (as you correctly noted in another recent partisan hit job on the truth about the health bill that you posted today)!

Added:
How is it misleading or just plain bullshit?

Start with her opening salvo:
Quote:
What the government will require YOU to do....

Secs 202, 224, 303, 412....
...only apply to those currently w/o insurance and who would purchase insurance through the new Insurance Exchange.

And then she misrepresents the choices and options (and respective costs) of plans that would be available through the Exchange.

If YOU are currently insured through an employer-based plan, NONE of those sections apply to YOU or would impact your current plan or coverage in any way.

The rest of her bullshit is no better.
