Fox News Miscue

After reading the blog About Fox News misinforming people about a health care reform, i tried to analyze what the author was trying to point out.  It looks like the author was trying to prove a point by not blatantly bashing Fox News but to show what Fox News reported and then what the truth is.  The message is pretty clear and the author did it in a way to get the point across.  It is very simple yet very effective.  Many people watch Fox News and believe everything that they hear and this author was targeting those people.  It was to say, just because it is on the news does not always mean it is accurate.  Fox News always trys to make a headline and it is shown here that they get something very small and try to make it big.  The author doesn't use many words or even show a bias but just shows the facts because they explain themselves.  After reading the article i came to a conclusion that the author is right, that Fox News is indeed misinformed.  The rule changed about the flex spending account which is money allocated to use for prescription and over the counter items.  It benefits the user because it is tax free.  Unfortunately this year the FSA (flex spending account) card covers only prescriptions and a small number of over the counter products.  To be able to use the FSA card for certain over the counter products, a doctor would now have to write a prescription to get it covered under the FSA card.  For people who don't have FSA cards, are unaffected and can still go to your local pharmacy and buy aspirin or Tylenol without a prescription.  The author did careful research and presented clearly that even i could explain it like i just did.
