Rep. Andy Biggs’ claim about Obamacare doesn’t add up
Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs made a surprising and untrue claim about who gets Obamacare subsidies.
So let me get this straight:
- Biggs says "you have people who might be making up to 600,000 paying no premiums"
- Article then debunks this by saying "no one who makes more than half a million....."
...And that was sufficient to call his entire statement a lie? Really? Because he was off by 100k out of 500k? His point remains, people up to 500,000.....
I just feel that the liberal media constantly tries to call conservatives' statements lies because they are slightly off numerically speaking. I think the average joe would conclude, based on those 2 elements of information, that what he said was mostly true.
Am I wrong on this? Open to comments, but do you see what I mean about how it was only a lie if you've got your calculator out....otherwise it was substantially true in its main meaning.
