He says that "health-care decisions will not be made by government"...while he sets up a new Federal Health Board to tell doctors what treatments they can offer and to whom and under what circumstances.
When the president says he guarantees the "same coverage" to people who like their current health-insurance policies, he means that their current HMOs, insurers and doctors will be the ones to implement the protocols and instructions the government hands down to them -- not that we'll have our current freedom of decision-making.
When Obama speaks of "14,000 people losing their health care insurance everyday" he is leaving out the fact that those are job losses that his failed policies to end the recession have caused.
Time magazine this week will have President Obama on the cover yet again dressed in a white coat as if he was a medical doctor. His true title should be head spin doctor. For now the spin seems to be working for most of Americans, however, I think we will soon begin to realize that spin will not solve our nations problems with its health care.
