In a story in The Oregonian this morning, written by Don Colburn, there was nice exposure of lies greased into the public debate by Maribeth Healey, executive director of the union-backed Oregonians for Health Security.
Ms. Healey did acknowledge that her job includes helping "witnesses" in the debate on health care to develop their testimony.
One of those witnesses, Sarah Bacon of Medford, testified via speakerphone to lawmakers that her daughter Molly died for lack of health coverage, from a virus that would have been discovered if only Molly had had insurance.
Except Molly was living in Palm Desert California at the time. Except Molly probably died of bleeding in the brain caused by head trauma. A boyfriend was charged and acquitted.
In politics, it doesn't matter if we lie, if our cause is just. Thank you, Ms. Healey of the union-backed Oregonians for Health Security.
