The President's speech was anything but a surrender.

13. I see it very differently.

The Washington Post opinion piece overlooks the fact that this is only a temporary option to continue offering sub-standard policies until policy holders with such plans have time to learn about better, less expensive options now available to them. I feel quite certain that few Americans will want to pay more for less insurance once they see the truth of what they have been paying for beside the much better insurance plans they could afford.

The genius of our President's approach is that he is making it incumbent upon the insurance companies themselves to educate their policy holders about the defects and deceptions in their current policies. I would say that rather than, ". . . telling companies to break the law," President Obama is actually forcing those companies to own up to their past misdeeds.
