I know journalism isn't supposed to "pick sides," but you either think poor people should die because they get sick, or you don't think poor people deserve to die because they're poor. When do we reach the point that "both sides" isn't a viable argument?

Let me summarize this article for those not reading: The Republicans are threatening coverage pre-existing conditions for people getting insurance through the ACA, the President is lying, and Joe Manchin is exaggerating the number of WV residents who might lose coverage.
-
That last part definitely needed to be in the article s/
-
Yeah, because it makes a huge difference to the overall debate whether 800k WVirginians or 400k WVirginians lose coverage.

-
I can’t even understand why, in an article about who is protecting people with pre-existing conditions, you would quibble about statistics when the more relevant piece of information is that Republicans *are not protecting people with pre-existing conditions*. It’s bizarre.
-
It's real hard to appear neutral when one side is flat out lying and the other is slightly exaggerating.

You know, you can just say Republicans are lying about protecting people w/ pre-existing conditions w/o nitpicking whether Manchin is right that 40% of West Virginians have pre-existing conditions.
-
The article was to address who is protecting people w/ pre-existing conditions (not Republicans, who are fighting in court to have them declared unconstitutional), not nitpick Manchin’s statistics, & the reflexive urge to provide balance where it isn’t needed is going to kill us.
