The column argues MeToo hype risks collective virtue signaling and misinformation. It cites Alyssa Milano and media outlets while defending fact checking, noting many claims may be exaggerations or fabrications. It references Brent Turvey and colleagues who challenge the 2 percent false report myth and urge rigorous verification.
Mary Antona Aiken argues Michelle Malkin's critique of Obama era health plan promises ignores plan withdrawals due to essential benefits, market economics, and Trump era policy changes. The letter links insurer behavior, plan terminations, and policy shifts to overall exchange instability.
