" ...skyrocketing premiums, everyone at the mercy of the insurance industry as recently seen with the 39% premium increases proposed by Anthem Blue Cross in California."

Well, if there were hundreds of other insurance companies competing in Cali (and the other 49 states ... 56 if you're Obama), then Anthem would not have been able to get away with a 39% premium increase.

But, alas, competing across state lines is just one of those 'talking points' that Obama says is being mentioned by the Republicans instead of real suggestions. /s
