Obama's Address to Congress 9/9/09
Below is the 50 minute video of President Obama's speech on yesterday. If you'd like to view a shorter version click here.
Otherwise, here is Obama setting it straight about his proposed healthcare plan. I particularly love how he praises John McCain's original plan which the President has included as an immediate relief option for people with pre-existing conditions. It was almost touching even. :o)
-Our President wants health insurance to become mandatory for everyone so that.
-He wants multiple (a marketplace of) heathcare companies out there to choose from in order to drive down rates and provide more options for the people; just like there are multiple car insurance companies to choose from (Progressive, Geico, Safe Auto...) where people can choose the best rates. This level of competition will FORCE insurance companies to provide more affordable rates with better service instead of insurance coming from only a handful of companies that control with high rates and unethical practices like dropping the sickest policy holders.
-The President also wants a not-for-profit public option for those without insurance which he said will count for only 5% of the people.
-His goal is to end healthcare abuses and make insurance available (affordable) to everyone.
