Another direct hit to the credibility hull of Obama's health care argument.

He argued that preventive diabetic foot care pays Drs a pittance while the surgeon who amputates the diabetic foot "deposits 30 thousand dollars directly into their account". Well, the American College of Surgeons responded quickly: the medicare reimbursement for the surgeon for this procedure is LESS than 1000 dollars.

So, he was only off by a factor of 30.

Too late to right this ship.
