House GOPer: Senate 'Keep Your Health Plan' Bill Might Be Better Than Ours

[Swede Atlanta]

6. Exactly.....

You cannot have a system based on private insurance that limits the amount of money they can use for profits, etc. and then tell them they must keep coverage and prices at a fixed level "indefinitely".

I think Obama made a mistake in not making clear that the ability to keep your policy is subject to the decisions of your insurance provider. He could have stated that the law (assuming this was part of the law) encourages issuers of current policies to support the existing policies for a transition period of say 5 years but that nothing is GUARANTEED.

It is similar to his faux pax on "use of chemical weapons in Syria is a red line". He should have said that "certain actions by either side, such as use of chemical weapons, MAY constitute a red line and the U.S. will respond accordingly.

While he is so professorial, there are times when the precision of his statements are not in fact rooted in reality.

I fully support him but think he needs to correct these types of mis-statements and ensure no other ones come in future.
