I love the first video on that White House web page where the semi-fashionable old white lady shows the clips of Obama where he is delivering his "true" message. First he says if you want to keep your current health insurance, that won't change. Then, he says he wants to keep the good parts of the current system, but change the bad parts. Then, he says he's going to use the public plan to "discipline" the private companies providing plans. And finally, he repeats his rhetoric that if you like you're current health plan, nothing is going to change with it.
Come on! Stop saying you're going to change it, but that you're not going to change it!
The idea that "I'm just going to pinpoint the bad stuff and change that, but the good stuff will remain frozen intact" is silly. If you change any part of it with the massive force of govt., it's going to ripple throughout the system and change other things.
That White House web page sounds like just as much disinformation as what they are claiming to be guarding against.
