Spinning Premium Rates (Fastcheck)

This article was about Obamacare. Obviously the author was against the program beacuse it thoroughly pointed out statistics and statements given by Obama that were false that made his argument look economically feasible. Mostly about premium percentage rates and individual market prices. There has been much discussion on what Americans can expect to pay for insurance on the state-based and federal exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act. The program is set to launch on October 1st. Republicans and critics of the law have claimed the rates will be too expensive, while Obama and the White House have said they’ll be affordable for those needing to buy their own coverage. The interesting thing is that an average is hard to discuss when each state carries a different premium charge so it does not take into account living expense or inflation. So we clearly have a biased journalist on our hands.
