CBS News’ Misleading Obamacare Report: Woman’s Plan Paid $50/Service, Doesn’t Cover Hospitalization [View all]

First of all, the plan that Barrette paid $54 a month for is barely health insurance at all. It’s part of a subset of insurance that Consumer Reports calls “junk health insurance” (and which even the company that sells it recommends that customers not rely solely upon) and it pays only $50 towards most of the services it covers. That’s it.

...Dianne Barrette has no idea what her plan covers, and her actual premium under Obamacare would be about a third what CBS reported. She tells the Erik Wemple Blog that her plan has a “$50 copay,” when in reality, that’s the amount her plan will pay toward an office visit (she’s responsible for the rest), she says it provides “outpatient only” hospital care, but the plan only covers $50 of a very narrow set of outpatient services (mammography, osteoporosis screening, diabetes self-management, and complications from pregnancy).

She also told Wemple that she makes around $30,000 a year, which would put her Obamacare premium at about $209/mo. That’s for a plan that is literally infinitely better than what she had.

Wemple also reports that Dianne will soon be appearing on three Fox News programs.

As the CBS 'news' report turned out to be so misleading, I thought it was important to put this in LBN as it counters pretty much everything thrown out this morning on CBS regarding Obamacare. And don't you just love how she's going to be appearing on THREE FoxNews programs.... interesting how that works.

CBS News and Fox News -- cohorts in distortion reporting and un-factual reporting.
