Obama Attacks 'Outrageous Myths'

President Obama is fighting back: He used his weekly radio address on Saturday to hit back at Republican myths about health-care reform. "Today, I want to spend a few minutes debunking some of the more outrageous myths circulating on the Internet, on cable TV, and repeated at some town halls across this country," he began. Obama made clear that illegal immigrants would not be covered under the plan, and that coverage for abortions would not be mandated. He also took on “death panels,” saying “As every credible person who has looked into it has said, there are no so-called death panels—an offensive notion to me and to the American people.”
