Among the statements made by the president that are “incorrect or not based in fact” highlighted in this press release are these remarks:

He stated [at Tuesday’s New Hampshire town hall] that a surgeon gets paid $50,000 for a leg amputation
when, in fact, Medicare pays a surgeon between $740 and $1,140 for a
leg amputation. This payment also includes the evaluation of the
patient on the day of the operation plus patient follow-up care that is
provided for 90 days after the operation. Private insurers pay some
variation of the Medicare reimbursement for this service.

Three
weeks ago, the President suggested that a surgeon?s decision to remove
a child?s tonsils is based on the desire to make a lot of money. That
remark was ill-informed and dangerous, and we were dismayed by this
characterization of the work surgeons do. Surgeons make decisions about
recommending operations based on what?s right for the patient.

Sounds like somebody at the White House needs to fact check this guy.
