Most Accurate and Most Inaccurate Statements of the Day Awards
Ezra Klein wins BOTH AWARDS for statements in a single article about ObamaCare.
Most Accurate Statement of the Day Award winner:
For most Americans, the dominant emotion is confusion. According to the Kaiser poll, “confused” outranks “angry,” “anxious” and “enthusiastic” as a descriptor. At 53 percent, it commands an easy majority — and I’d guess that’s a low estimate.
Most Inaccurate Statement of the Day Award winner:
If you obtain insurance from your employer, Medicare, Medicaid or the veterans system — and that describes most Americans — you probably won’t notice the legislation at all.
Is this the same Ezra Klein who thinks the Constitution is impossible to understand because it is over 100 years old?
I’m sure it’s hard to win both awards with a single article. But, hey, hats off to Ezra.
This is a tough act to follow.
The last statement would only be accurate if most people actually worked for Medicare, Medicaid or the veterans system. Those who get coverage through their employer, Medicare or Medicaid are bound to notice a difference.
Anybody can make accurate and inaccurate statements. The trick is to make statements that you actually believe in.
Seems that ObamaCare confuses Ezra Klein, too.
