In a new ad purporting to show the benefits of Obamacare, Organizing for Action (formerly Obama’s re-election campaign) fails to provide adequate sources for its claims. The ad does not include quotes from the articles, the author of the article cited or even the title of the article. A Lexis Nexis and archive search could not find the articles mentioned in the ad.
The ad claims that the average health insurance rebate was $150 in 2012. Funny thing about this claim: The ad cites The Washington Post as the source and gives the date of the article as Jan. 6, 2013, but there appears to be no articles that day mentioning the rebates. There is a WaPo article that mentions the rebate, but it cites — wait for it — the Obama administration’s own figures.
