Fact Check.org calls out Debbie Wasserman Schultz as aLiar and Mediscare artist


The only thing you need to know about Debbie is that she thinks because she’s a cancer survivor that she’s allowed to lie about Republicans with impunity without fear of blow back.

Sorry Debbie, that doesn’t wash. How this woman can sleep at night after telling lies all day long about Paul Ryan’s plan is beyond me. She must have no conscience whatsoever and its a pretty sad thing to see a DNC chairman with so little sense of honor.

I feel sorry for her kids having such a liar for her mother.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz falsely claimed that seniors with preexisting medical conditions would be denied Medicare coverage under the GOP's plan. The House GOP plan specifically says insurance companies “must agree to offer insurance to all Medicare beneficiaries.”

She also repeated a false Democratic talking point that future beneficiaries — those who are now younger than 55 — would be left on their own to buy insurance in the private market. The GOP plan, as we have written before, would provide subsidies for future beneficiaries to buy private insurance from a Medicare exchange set up by the government.

Wasserman Schultz, the new chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, made her comments May 29 on "Face the Nation."

Wasserman Schultz, May 29: What they would do is they would take the people who are younger than 55 years old today and tell them, "You know what? You’re on your own. Go and find private health insurance in the — in the health care insurance market. We’re going to throw you to the wolves and allow insurance companies to deny you coverage and drop you for preexisting conditions. We’re going to give you 'x' amount of dollars and you figure it out."

She is simply wrong to say that the GOP plan would allow insurance companies to "throw you to the wolves and allow insurance companies to deny you coverage and drop you for preexisting conditions."
