Joe Biden, President of the United States

“If Republicans ever repealed the Affordable Care Act, that would mean "100 million Americans with preexisting conditions can once again be denied health care coverage by their insurance companies.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: Those Americans could only be denied coverage on the individual market. Employer-based plans, the largest source of insurance in the U.S., couldn't deny an insurance plan to employees before the ACA.

Rand Paul, U.S. Senator

“We now have the scientific evidence that shows the risk of myocarditis for young males is greater for the vaccine than it is for the disease.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Vaccine Benefits Outweigh Risk

FactCheck.org says: Experts say the risk of myocarditis associated with the vaccine is rare and, more importantly, that everyone, including young males, could face much more serious outcomes from contracting COVID-19.
