Obama Goes After Insurance Companies for the 100th Time

This is getting so old.

The president's pitch was part denunciation of insurance companies — "they continue to ration care on the basis of who's sick and who's healthy," he said — and part criticism of his Republican critics. "You had 10 years. What happened? What were you doing?" he taunted members of a party that held the White House for eight years and control of Congress for a dozen.

He is still pounding the insurance companies at the same time he is promoting a bill that will force people to buy their product under threat of jail. The reason why you don't hear anything from Big Insurance is that the Dems will give them 30 million extra customers for life. They are even going to give them a huge billion dollar subsidy in the form of "helping families pay for health care." The whole Dem bill is flawed nonsense.

Also what were the Republicans doing? Um, fighting two wars and cutting my taxes. That was exactly what I wanted them to do. The Dems are going to force everyone in America to buy insurance and run the deficit up by another trillion. Exactly what I don't want them to do. I think Americans just want this whole debate to go away and have the President fired up about creating jobs.
