Healthcare Debate

Why are there so many lies out there regarding the health care debate?
There are some docs that claim to save you the time of reading the various bills yourself. The look legitimate when they site page and section of a particular bill.

The truth is when you look at the items in those sections you see in the least they are being a bit misleading at worst they are flat-out trying to deceive.

Take these examples:
In a summary on Conservativepledge.org they say -
"Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed!"

The only limit is around a cost sharing program and it is also part of a section where they show things were you should have coverage without limit.
or this one -
"Page 95: The Government will pay ACORN and Americorps to sign up individuals for Government-run Health Care plan."
When I read the doc it does not say anything about ACORN or Americorps on page 95 or any of the pages in the document.
