There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

The enlistment of supporters for help combating lies and smears is a nice touch, a pain-free way of giving them a stake in the battle. There’s going to be a lot of work to do this month, and I hear the White House and/or the DNC will be unveiling more along these lines soon."

Nonno - I have read alot of your posts and you seem to bend toward the Dem/Liberal side. Do you actually support the Orwellian activities as described in your post? Or are you giving fair warning to the oppostion that the comments (note the free speach infringement here) they make Will be held against them.

I wonder if they'll do anything if I send them this link:
H.R.3200 - America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009

It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known and less fixed? -James Madison

From the comments section from Nono's OP.

I reported my 85-year old Republican mother to flag@whitehouse.gov and asked them to “straighten her out”. She said she was against euthanasia for the elderly in lieu of costly medical treatment.
