It seems that all of Obama's talk about "you like your health care you will keep it" and "if you like your doctor you will keep them" is just rhetoric because it seems his own words are contradicting it.
“I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that’s what I’d like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House.”
In other words the "public plan" that competes with private insurance is simply a smoke screen to get to a fully socialized plan. It seems that Obama 2009 and Obama 2003 seem to totally disagree on this issue. I would love to see the real Obama stand up.
