He’s promised details.... Seems like a pretty hollow speech to me if these are the highlights....
Am I missing something here? It looks like the big new tactic here is referring to the “public option” as an “insurance exchange.” I supposed that phrasing polls better. He’s playing word games. I suggest we tell this son of a female canine to take go make himself airborn before interfacing with a body of water.
Even democrats were saying he'd better put some meat on this speech. People are getting sick of seeing him yap yap yapping all over their prime time shows, saying nothing new. Even supporters' patience is running thin. Plus, he raised expectations by promising details of the plan. Hopefully, the rest of the speech is as bereft of detail as this boring excerpt.
And for people who are skeptical about this plan, that cranky, dictatorial tone isn't going to do much to calm their fears. If the WH is going to track you down and come after you if you so much as "misrepresent" anything in the plan, what the hell are these jackboots planning for us once the plan is made into law, with 400,000 regulations and with premiums extracted by the IRS?
