Finally, Obama starts making some sense

He practically taunted those who denigrate government bureaucrats and exalt the free market.

"Why would it drive private insurance out of business?" he said of the proposed public option. If private insurers "tell us that they're offering a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can't run anything, suddenly is going to drive them out of business? That's not logical."

7. Why can't the government give us what we want.

employers have nothing to do with medicare so why can't we have medicare for all. Medicare is totally government run.

8. He's been making sense since some time in 1964....
.... granted, what he said before he turned two was clearly babble, but ever since then, those who couldn't understand him weren't always listening. ;)

13. I would much rather have heard him ask "Who gives a damn about the insurance companies?"
I find it disgusting that anyone would hold the financial welfare of the insurance industry above the health of American citizens.
