This is a good example. Housing experts pointed out how disingenuous this was. Claims about healthcare staffing, nurses, doctors, healthcare funding, ERs, etc all have been made without a reasonable factual basis.

Although health care wasn’t on the agenda for tonight’s debate, I was pleased to hear it discussed during the “cost of living” segment. Because we know that health care is not an independent issue. We can’t build a healthy economy without healthy people.

Don't allow them to deflect this to "factors outside their control." You all know it's not. But they've successfully convinced the public.
