Disappointed with ad
I was saddened (but not surprised) that you allowed the “Shame on you, Cathy” full page ad that ran May 9 to contain so many false facts.
“This bill will cause at least 24 million Americans to lose health insurance, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office analysis.” Oh really? Actual fact: The Congressional Budget Office did not evaluate this legislation.
“$880 billion cuts to Medicaid.” Not factual and not evaluated by the Budget Office.
The more the Republicans are hammered by one-sided news reports and false advertisements, the more caring they appear to working stiffs and the common-sense community.
The S-R needs to be more responsible for what they allow in print, and McMorris Rodgers needs to continue to unwind the Obamacare disgrace.
