A response to Obama's health care speech to Congress

[ProSense]

Who said this?

“Tonight, the President laid out his plan for health care reform that will bring stability and security to health care in America. He and I both want it to deliver peace of mind for everyone. If you change jobs, lose your job, or lose your health, you should be able to get affordable health insurance. Under the President’s plan, you will be able to.

Recently, I held four “town hall”-type meetings and a telephone town hall meeting during eight days in August alone. Health care questions dominated these forums. During those events, I corrected many misconceptions about health care reform. Tonight, President Obama likewise dispelled the countless myths spread by those bent on defeating this reform at all costs. People need to judge health care reform on the facts, not on fears stemming from something that is nowhere in the bill.

Clearly, the need for health care reform is on the minds of the people I proudly represent. According to the Marist Poll last month, only six percent of America favors doing nothing. Doing nothing is not an option. As we move forward, I look forward to working with all sides to ensure the best ideas become part of this essential reform.

Finally, I often get asked if I will support a bill that does not include one provision or another. My answer is simple: I will support any bill that saves money and saves lives.”

Does it sound like this person supports a public option?

6. He didn't say the words PUBLIC OPTION, so he is doomed, I tell ya!

This person surely is NOT for the public option. :sarcasm:


So say those who keep criticizing President Obama, even though he has voiced his preference for it and said those two words, in almost every speech. If President Obama leaves them out of one speech, then he MUST no longer be for the public option. LOL



GREAT FIND, ProSense.
