Can someone explain to me a few things?

My far right "so called: friends are crying foul. The are claiming that Nov 1, anyone that writes a check, or is on social security will be penalized 1% of the amount, to go towards Obamacare. Now, I have not read all of the documents supporting Obamacare, and would like to know how much of this is true.

1. I've not heard this

Sounds curiously like a bald-faced lie, however. Chain-e-mail, perhaps????
*sigh*

[SmittynMo]

3. I thought so too

You never know with the far right. They support a deceptive liar. I guess the acorn don't fall far from the tree. However, I'd like to hear more on this. Part of the problem is that they are left supporting a loser, and will grab at anything to make Obama look bad, no matter how much they have to lie. It's quite sickening

12. What more is there to hear about?

The Republican-Fox News-Tea Party Axis lies all the time and about almost everything. Save yourself the time and energy trying to refute this kind of obvious junk and make them show you their "source" and prove that stuff like this IS true.

2. Typical RW hysterical lie. Snopes is your best friend for this.

[SmittynMo]

4. They posted it in an Email, "supposedly from snopes".

Anyone knows you can edit the data before sending the Email. DUH. I guess they think we're all stupid. I was just searching for the real facts.

7. They didn't just edit the data,

they left out the answer to the rumor clearly listed in the summary. Check it out.

But let's go ahead and call this the "financial death panel".

8. Thank you all so much.

This is all the ammo I need. Damn, I have a hard time with stupid, ignorant far right people.

9. Ask them why they allow themselves to be lied to by people who clearly despise them.

11. Tell them Rmoney backs the Ryan plan to cut Medicare and replace it with vouchers

and that they should reconsider their options.
