Life expectancy in Kenya was 35 years in 1963 - the year Kenya became independent from Britain.
|
The 1st Q&A pair gives two differing figures for life expectancy in Kenya in 1093 (53, and 48) and for males only, However neither one matches the claim figure,
Q&A pair two also only gives a number for 1 sex (females) which answer shows as 55 does not match the claim either (35 is shown in claim).
Even when the figures shown are averaged they are not close to the claim figure of 35. And so the claim is wrong.

India’s HDFC Bank is not liable to take responsibility for deposits over one lakh rupees per account holder.
|
The 1st Q&A pair states that the claim is right about up to one lakh being covered by the HDFC, however it states any amount over that is not covered, and Q&A 2 state this is not correct as banks offer insurance cover for amounts over if requested by a customer so cherrypicking chosen as it is not an automatic cover as is a separate policy chosen by a customer.

Annual income for the typical household is up by an inflation-adjusted $5,000 since Donald Trump took office.

Q&A 1 only states that household income was 1.400 not the 5.000 as claimed, However it does not mention if this figure is inflation adjusted, as is the figure used in the claim so more evidence of how the figure mounts up using inflation is needed.

The question clearly asks if a toll receipt is needed to receive emergency assistance on National Highways and the answer is clear that you do not, plus there is a free helpine 24/7 on National Highways.

Flu shots contain Formaldehyde which is a known human carcinogen and has been known to cause infertility and hormone imbalance.
|
The claim is cherry picking as formaldehyde is in vaccines but at a very small dose which would not harm anyone.

Flu shots contain polysorbate 80, which has been linked to ovarian damage and infertility. It could induce liver failure.
|
It looks as though some flu vaccines do contain polysorbate 80, although there have been concerns about polysorbate 80 and its relationship with infertility. It doesn't look as though there has been much research or reporting done on the links. Except for one report, which saw a total of six cases? There is also no information on whether polysorbate 80 can induce liver failure. Therefore, this leaves an aspect of the claim neither supported nor refuted.

There are less than 150 psychiatrists in this country of 200 million.
|
According to the Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria, there are 250 psychiatrists registered to it, and 200 psychiatry trainees. All psychiatrists working in Nigeria must also be listed with the association, secretary-general Joyce Omoaregba told Africa Check. Despite some Nigerian psychiatrists moving to other countries, their estimate still holds, he said.

By 2018, Nigeria had allocated just 3.95% of its budget to funding its ministry of health.
|
Although the third answer says 3.91% I'll assume some rounding differences in the underlying figures and judge it close enough to support the claim.
Also the wording of the claim seems to be making the point that 3.95% is a low amount, so the evidence pointing to 3.91% does not undermine the claim.

Nigeria ranks fifth in the world in the frequency of suicide.
|
The most recent suicide data available is 2016 and this shows that the country is 15th in the world, we dont know what the rank is in 2019 when the claim is made, it may have gone up and the country may be ranked higher but if theres no data available we cannot prove it. Russia is the first in the world which a much higher percentage but also a much larger population, so it seems unlikely that in 3 years it would have risen so much. I have chosen refuted because whilst theres a lack of information of the stats in 2019, the claim itself must be based on assumptions if there is no official data and the last official data was available in 2016.

"answer": "Congressional health benefits\nBefore the Affordable Care Act, Congress and staffers got their health care through employer-provided insurance, the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. During the ACA debate, the idea that members of Congress would not be subject to the exchanges became a big political issue. So, the final \"ACA\" (Obamacare) required lawmakers and staffers to get their insurance through the local health exchange, the District of Columbia’s small business health options program (SHOP) exchange.\n\nFor the 2017 plan year, there were 57 plan options in the gold tier on the DC SHOP. Members and staff have to choose at least the gold option to receive the employer contribution, which is figured at 72% of the weighted average of all FEHB plan premiums. \n\nOnce a member or staffer is no longer in federal service, they have an option to enroll in an FEHB plan under Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC) that they pay for (like COBRA).\n\nWant more details on the Congressional health benefits? This CRS Report has you covered.\n\nCongressional retirement benefits\nUp until 1984, federal employees (including Members of Congress) did not pay Social Security taxes or receive Social Security benefits but were instead covered by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). Members elected after 1984 are covered by the Federal Employees’ Retirement System (FERS).\n\nLike other federal employees, Congressional pensions are financed through employee and employer contributions. Members pay Social Security payroll taxes equal to 6.2% Social Security taxes and contribute to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF).\n\nMembers of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 (with at least five years of service), age 50 (with at least twenty years of service), or at any age (after 25 years of service). \"The amount of the pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of\nsalary.

In the US the impeachment process has always gone through the House Judiciary Committee, because it is the committee of jurisdiction over the Constitution and over impeachment, not the Intelligence Committee.

From the evidence, it appears that the Constitution doesn’t offer specific guidance on rules for impeachment inquiries and that the House determines its own rules of parliamentary conduct. Hence, the claim is refuted.

1 in 6 in the US get food poisoning each year but only 1 in 66 in the UK.
|
Evidence throughout the QA brings up a slight conflict against the claim. It seems that the stats of 1 in 6 for the US getting food poisoning is relatively true, it's based on a 2011 report but the CDC suggests it's a fairly accurate statistic, further evidence seems to suggest that it's hard to estimate the exact numbers with one reason being not all people report to the doctor with food poisoning and it's hard to always proove it was something they ate made them ill in the first place leaving room for inaccuracy which makes the claim conflicted because that part suggests the claim may be wrong. Based on the numbers the 1 in 66 part may be true for the UK, stats are not comparable between the countries and the way it's recorded because of differences in the countries medical care and the methodology behind the estimates may differ.
