Doctors start their careers with an oath: “First, do no harm.” Obviously, politicians don’t take an oath like that, because President Obama’s healthcare reform plan is the classic case of a “cure” that’s worse than the disease. But, tragically, misplaced belief in seven dangerous myths about the plan is deceiving many well-meaning people into supporting ObamaCare:

Myth #1: Everyone will have access to good healthcare.

Myth #2: Healthcare costs will be brought under control.

Myth #3: Healthcare will be fairer.

Myth #4: Patients will have freedom of choice.

Myth #5: Our healthcare system will still be the best in the world.

Myth #6: We can afford ObamaCare.

Myth #7: Healthcare reform is our most urgent need.
