Politifact Georgia in the Wednesday AJC gave a half true
rating to Jon Ossof's pronouncement that the Republican sponsored AHCA would
mean massive price hikes for Georgians with pre-existing conditions. I often
have a hard time understanding how the people in Politifact Georgia arrive at
their conclusions. Perhaps if they rated the AHCA impact in terms of mortality
probability we would get a better sense of the truthfulness or otherwise. A
half true massive impact is meaningless and insulting to those Georgians
suffering from pre-existing conditions. Do they mean a reduction from
Himalayan to Alpine impact or merely just Smokey Mountain level impact? In any
event they appear to be out of step with Trump who rated the AHCA as Mean,
Mean, Mean. I think I understand that, and so apparently does Jon Ossoff.
