It's about time he told the truth about health care. The following is from http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Obamas-Post-Office-health-care-disaster-53038002.html and explains finally in a nut shell what the rest of us can understand about the new health car bill.
Explaining why he believes a public option would not crowd out and ultimately eliminate private insurance, Obama said, "My answer is that if the private insurance companies are providing a good bargain, and if the public option has to be self-sustaining…then I think private insurers should be able to compete. They do it all the time. I mean, if you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? No, they are. It's the Post Office that's always having problems.-President Obama, August 12, 2009
The bill which is over 1000 pages long and written basically by interest groups, lobbyists, liberals, and lawyers (one that is apparently too long for even the president to read) is written in terms that the average citizen can not understand. So here the president outlines it all for us in one paragraph. Thank you Mr. President. Now maybe we can trust what you say.
Just in case you are a liberal and can not figure this out here it is: the president in his articulate way (without a teleprompter actually) shows how well a government program can be. First, if the government runs something then not many competitors try to compete; only two in this case. And when the government is the largest company in the market, look at what happens- "always having problems".
