Washington Post: The Fact-Checker "‘The Road We've Traveled:’ A misleading account of Obama’s mother and her insurance dispute"
"We use a “reasonable man” standard here, and we think there are few viewers of this film who would watch this sequence and conclude that Dunham was involved in anything but a fight over health-insurance coverage.
"The disability-insurance dispute certainly may have motivated the president, but he has never explicitly stated that. In any case, the filmmakers must have known they had a problem with this story or else they would have recounted it as Obama had done in the 2008 campaign, using phrases such as “pre-existing conditions,” “health insurance,” and “treatment.”
"Instead, they arranged the quotes and images to leave a misleading impression of what really happened."
