Not so Fast, Obama, Say Insurance Companies
The health insurance industry has some lingering doubts about President-elect Barack Obama’s health care plan. Even though they have supported a plan that will require them to accept all applicants without regard to pre-existing conditions, there are still concerns. The National Health Insurance Exchange is giving them issue.
The National Health Insurance Exchange would give Americans a choice between a private plan and a government sponsored plan. The premise is that by combining government sources and open market options, the insured will have more resources with which to tailor a custom plan. The New York Times reports Tom Daschle, the incoming HHS Secretary, as stating that the government’s plan is designed around the Medicare model.
Where is the change Obama promised and why is the left oblivious to his campaign that got him elected?
In the Seattle Times February 9, David Sirota’s syndicated column exposes the lack of change in the new administration:
“America was told that finally after years of yes-men running the government, we were getting a president who would follow Abraham Lincoln’s load, fill his administration with varying viewpoints, and glean empirically sound policy from the clash of ideas.
“Little did we know that the ‘team of rivals’ was what George Orwell calls ‘Newspeak’: an empty slogan.
