12 hours of health reform lies

The Democratic Party
pacquiao --

Last Saturday night, at 11:15 p.m., the House of Representatives passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act -- becoming the first house of Congress to pass comprehensive health reform in American history.

For the preceding 12 hours, Republican representatives stood on the House floor and spouted callous and shameless lie after lie in a desperate, last-ditch effort to stop reform. Perhaps they thought that if enough of them lied enough times in a row, they could get away with it. They were wrong.

Watch our video showing all of the outrageous lies from the House debate -- and debunking each one.

Call out GOP Representatives


A healthy, honest debate on the floor of Congress is essential to passing good laws -- but that's not what these Republicans showed up to do on Saturday night. We can't give up on the truth, so we're keeping President Obama's promise to call out those who cease debating on the merits and start lying about reform -- even when there are almost too many lies to count.

Health reform will have to pass the House once more before President Obama can sign it. So it's essential that we debunk this misinformation now so that swing members in Congress can sort out fact from fiction -- and so that those who would lie again know they will be held to account.

Check out the video, then use our "Call 'em Out" Twitter tool to tell the House G.O.P. what you think of their string of lies:
