NY Post Contradicts Itself, Misrepresents Clinton's Health Insurance Plan
A September 19 New York Post article on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) proposed health-care plan bore the headline: "Hill Care-ried Away: Employees Must Prove Insurance" and reported that Clinton said "everyone eventually would have to prove they have health insurance when they apply for a job." But in the next sentence, Post correspondent Geoff Earle quoted Clinton saying that "she could envision a day when 'you have to show proof to your employer that you're insured as a part of the job interview,' " [emphasis added], not that workers will "have to prove they have health insurance."
The Post headline was similar to a September 18 headline on The Drudge Report, the website operated by Internet gossip Matt Drudge, which read: "HEALTH INSURANCE PROOF REQUIRED FOR WORK", as Media Matters for America documented.
