insurance companies flourish. I also think that it is the lack of political support, from Democrats, that allows such ignorance to continue. This is why rather than altering his position to support mandates and no public option instantly, the President needed to talk to the nation on health care. If no one makes the case for that which is right, we are stuck with that which is wrong.
