Obama: "I didn't campaign on the public option"
Edited on Tue Dec-22-09 06:14 PM by amborin
Obama said the public option "has become a source of ideological contention between the left and right." But, he added, "I didn't campaign on the public option"
snip
In the 2008 Obama-Biden health care plan on the campaign’s website, candidate Obama promised that "any American will have the opportunity to enroll in new public plan." <2008>
– During a speech at the American Medical Association, President Obama told thousands of doctors that one of the plans included in the new health insurance exchanges "needs to be a public option that will give people a broader range of choices and inject competition into the health care market." <6/15/09>
– While speaking to the nation during his weekly address, the President said that "any plan" he signs "must include...a public option." <7/17/09>
– During a conference call with progressive bloggers, the President said he continues "to believe that a robust public option would be the best way to go." <7/20/09>
– Obama told NBC’s David Gregory that a public option "should be a part of this ," while rebuking claims that the plan was "dead." <9/20/09>

"My plan builds on and improves our current insurance system, which most Americans continue to rely upon, and creates a new public health plan for those currently without coverage. Under my plan, Americans will be able to choose to maintain their current coverage if they choose to. For those without health insurance I will establish a new public insurance program, and provide subsides to afford care for those who need them. "

I agree. The public option is a way to keep private company prices down. Any politician opposing it is just doing the insurance companies dirty businesses.
this just show how many of them are bought off. And the democrats aren't any better than the Republicans.

The public option is a way to destroy companies, not keep costs down. Opposing politicians are doing this country a service. I wanted healthcare reform, but it looks like were in for a bureaucratic mess. Bunch of fuck-ups...

What part of "We Are Broke" do these left wingers not understand?
Serious Skip, I have never seen a larger disconnect between reality and people than today. We are TRILLIONS in debt and these left wing freaks think the answer is to spend more?
WTF is wrong with these people?
