First, there's Barack Obama, opening his "Health Care Summit" (to which precisely ZERO people were invited who might be opposed to statism). He claimed that every thirty seconds a bankruptcy in America was caused by medical expenses. Uh-huh. Riiiiight. (A little reference to the Coz, there.)

Then there's the bogus numbers cooked up by a leftist non-profit that's -- surprise! -- pushing for socialized medicine! They claim that 86.7 million Americans, or one in three, was without health insurance last year (please don't notice that they don't really stress how they concocted those numbers, the fact that many people voluntarily opted NOT to get health insurance because their states have laws that force insurance companies to HAVE TO accept them even after they get sick, and they neglected to mention that many people are simply changing jobs for a while, and are without insurance only for a few weeks. They also haven't been bothered to discuss the fact that federal programs to "give people insurance" are unconstitutional).

Here is the magic act in print:
