No matter what the message is as Obama and Co. criticizes health care companies, it really is amazing how much it looks like he’s back on the campaign in all those videos.
health insurance companies are aweful and there needs to be some kind of reform or type of regulation really, really soon. Hopefully Obama can get something done during this term.
crowley’s lying when she says the plan will explode the deficit. (the plan has a lot of problems, but this is not one of them.) newsy provides a good service but they should be sure to fact-check the quotes they choose to repeat.
I think Obama and the rest of the White House are just vocalizing what many Americans feeling about health insurance companies.
I think everyone agrees health insurance companies need to be more regulated.
