“What we haven’t heard are the voices of the millions upon millions of Americans who quietly struggle every day with a system that often works better for the health-insurance companies than it does for them.”

President Obama: We are not falling for this emotional garbage. You and your ilk lie about the number of [involuntarily] “uninsured.” You say it is almost 50 million. It is far closer to 10 million. There is absolutely no constitutional “right” to health care. So why are you concerned with it? Instead of continuing to feed the Federal Behemoth, you should be dismantling it. We do not need people in public office who are trying to use tax dollars to create Utopia. If you wish to do that, fine - but use your own money, not mine. Oh - and quit demonizing private industry. How can you, the head of the Federal government (the most inept, irresponsible, wasteful, and pathetic entity on the face of the earth) complain about private industry? You are very far divorced from reality, sir.

These are people like Lori Hitchcock, whom I met in New Hampshire last week. Lori is currently self-employed and trying to start a business, but because she has hepatitis C, she cannot find an insurance company that will cover her.

This exemplifies what I mean when I question the notion that Obama is brilliant. A sob story like this one is not a compelling argument. He needs to explain why we should re-invent the entire system because a few per cent of the population is chronically uninsured.

He hasn't made the case because the case cannot be made.
