Obama to unveil his own health care plan next week



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Americans want to hear two things:

1. I'm going to pay less.
2. I'm going to have better coverage.

That's it. Any more detail is going to flummox people. I think people want to hear that this plan will benefit them, period. That's it's not a trillion dollar welfare bill. That's it's not a lot of money spent, with few results. What we need is a health care calculator, like those tax cut calculators the Republicans always like to use. Let me plug in what I'm paying now for premiums, and tell me that I'm going to be paying less. Let me tell you what insurance I have now, and tell me I'm going to have even more coverage.

We don't need ten point plans. We need to be told that this plan will benefit all of us and it will be better than what we have now.
