Nancy Pelosi was playing a semantic word game when she claimed there “was not a delay of the mandate for the businesses” in the new health care law. That was in fact the effect of a decision announced recently by the Treasury.

And Ryan wrongly said the law would take money away from Medicare and ration benefits for seniors.
