The Pinocchio Test

The claim that "Hillary care" is tantamount to "socialized medicine" does not stand up to serious examination. The Clinton health care plan has more in common with the Massachusetts plan signed into law by Governor Mitt Romney than the British National Health system. We award three Pinocchios to Romney.

Giuliani, meanwhile, plucked a figure out of thin air when he claimed that the price of health insurance would be cut by more than half if more people bought their own policies. His only basis for the statement was faith in the power of free market economics. Since it is impossible to prove him wrong, we award him only one Pinocchio on this occasion.
