No, Obama does NOT give a clear answer in this video, at 1;45 or any other time. Typical total doubletalk BS non-answer from Obama. Of course he and the politicians would keep their gold-plated health coverage instead of going on the "public option" the rest of us would end up on. Everybody knows this. Obama is just a liar. He lies about the healthcare plan every time he talks about it. He wants to rush legislation through so nobody has the time to examine it, like with the stimulus bill.

What Obama doesn't understand, is even if you give the Government the power to overrun your life and if the current administration has great intentions, what if the next guy whom you've now empowered......doesn't?

this is my neurologist, and i like that he baffled the president of the united states :)

Boy, he dances around a question really well! What a jerk! I bet a lot of people who voted for him and thought he was the savior of the world are kicking themselves now.

i am interested more in hearing about opening up insurance across state lines, creating opportunity for competition which drives prices down and innovation up. health care will always be expensive. but, i want full control over it.

aren't you at all concerned with president obama's answer to the woman whose mother not only survived the surgery for the pace maker.. but also continued to live?

@andotech

however, if you want to stick to the library example, they do have a limited selection of books. i do have one other good county option for books, but it will cost a good amount of money and an inconvenient drive.

if the government plan becomes accessible and at an unbeatable rate for the consumer, private companies will be unable to maintain costs. they won't have the negotiating power with the heath care providers.

@andotech

what you say is true. however, the huge presence of a government take over of 1/6 of our county's total revenue can, in my opinion, not be likened to a public library. the library does not set rules that penalize businesses for not getting a library card or for not having their employees get one. the library does not decide what potentially life saving procedures i am "allowed".

[andotech]

Good question.

The existence of public schools did not wipe out private schools. The existence of public libraries did not wipe out book stores ('brick and mortar' or online).

In both cases, the reason for this is because of the variety of services offered in public vs. private. Consumers who want something other than what is available publicly can obtain it privately. Insurance companies are insentivized to NOT spend money on healthcare, but rather drop those who get sick.

@andotech :

don't you think that it's possible the govt will be able to offer lower rates and, eventually, that the competition could be wiped out because they can not offer the same rates?

[andotech]

If you don't like a government sponsored health plan, go get a private health plan. What's the problem? Why is this concept so hard for people to understand? The point is that a government plan would give people a choice between that plan and any available private plans.

[kmanship]

So he is saying Government health care is the right way to go but if it's his family he is going to look for the best care even if it's not through the Government program.... Well, that gives me great confidence that Government run health care is a good solution...LOL
