GOP ad uses misleading claims to tarnish Hochul

A new television ad from national Republican committee aims to tie Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul to President Obama, making claims about Medicare and government spending.
The ad, "Your change is missing," seeks to appeal to voters who supported Hochul and Obama in previous elections, saying, "you hoped they'd succeed."
The ad, paid for by the National Republican Congressional Committee, is misleading.

Claim: "Hochul voted to slash $716 billion from your Medicare."


Fact: This claim is misleading. Hochul voted against repealing Obama's health care overhaul, which contains a $716 million reduction in the growth of future Medicare spending, which will affect hospitals and other providers. This could affect beneficiaries in ways that are still unknown, either by restricting their access to Medicare or by impairing the quality of care, according to the Brookings Institution.

Isn't that the same as saying "Hochul voted for Obama's Health care overhaul which contains a $716 million reduction in Medicare spending?

I think what was really misleading was The Headline of the Article in the News. Like you pointed out, the News called something misleading, then presented evidence showing it wasn't misleading at all.

This all comes from living in a one newspaper community where that newspaper is so biased it's unbelievable.

You betcha. Don't blame the "Buffalo News Group" blame the person who worded the article. Then I suppose the editor who allowed the article to be published..

Good catch Tony, yes it is the same.

..AND, the only reason that AARP supports obomacare is because it would reduce Medicare advantage, which puts Medicare folks back in position of needing additional coverage for the gap. SSSSssssooooooo, one guess only: WHO do you think sells medicare gap insurance to seniors ? Hint: begins with A, ends with P.

Wall St Journal also had a great article on it about 2 weeks ago, how strongly AARP was helping to craft the messaging for Obama's speechwriters, even though AARP members were strongly against Obamacare from the start. So, whose interests is AARP looking out for ? Seniors? Um, nope.

Go on, look it up. THAT was why the Obama folks keep using the soundbite that "AARP is fully behind obamacare".
