[NOT THE BLUE LAMPSHADE]

Anyone watch his speech tonight? It was too much for one guy at work to watch, it was funny. But seriously, check out these rockin' quotes!

Obama also defended his proposal for government-run public health insurance as an option for consumers, saying it would force private insurers to lower costs. However, he called the provision one alternative for increasing competition for health insurance and signaled his openness to alternatives.

He's not dead set like a stampede for a full government option. He's not some close minded.....................


republican, well a god damn majority of em'

"Let me be clear... it would only be an option for those who don't have insurance," "No one would be forced to choose it, and it would not impact those of you who already have insurance. In fact, based on Congressional Budget Office estimates, we believe that less than 5 percent of Americans would sign up."

Wow, that'd really shut down insurance companies that don't even have the 3-5% of uninsured Americans that would be able to afford a public option.

Oh fuck that 5% means Socialism wins!!!

"I will not back down on the basic principle that if Americans can't find affordable coverage, we will provide you with a choice."

There is nothing bad about this, I don't care what you think? Why can't the most bad-ass fucking balling out of control rich nation afford to insure it's own people? Yes, other nation's ways of doing may be flawed, but they do it.

Regardless of what anyone's views are, in the end, this whole ridiculous "health care reform war of ultimate strife" is to just plainly lower health care costs and get rid of all the absolute nonsense in the system now. Things can always be improved upon, like Evo's. Think of it as adding a 3" exhaust or a huge fuckin' 600mm turbo.

And if anyone thinks the government's hands are gonna be all up in yo insurance business, the fucking insurance company is already in yo business. They tell you who to see, when to see them, where they are, or whatever they do (I have never had insurance so I don't know the personal experiences with it) and what's so bad about the government saying that? It's kinda like switching companies.

I do however 100% disagree with Obama wanting it law that you have health insurance, like having car insurance in most states. Obviously taxes will increase to support a public option, but if my taxes go up then fuck having it be law that I buy a plan or whatever when I'm already paying in with taxes. That's like it'd be illegal to be alive almost.
