    "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."

    Remember how adamant Obama was about it, sorta like the shovel thing. How he said those who said otherwise were either stupid or lying?

    Anybody been watching the news? Watching all the major companies in this country start to drop their health care coverage.

    AT&T, Boeing, 3M, McDonalds, Verizon..........

    Telling their employees they will be going on the government plan?

    Is this like the shovel thing, he was just wrong, oh well, tough luck, we just have to live with his costly mistakes?

    Maybe the healthcare plan was to cause business to drop healthcare. Remember "single payor" is the ultimate goal all along, it's the time frame
    that isn't certain. Govt run healthcare and now talk / rumors of govt control of 401k"s.

    Talk, they held debates a couple weeks ago. Lame duck sessions usually come with bad legislation, and when the lame ducks have one foot out the door, the legislation can get real ugly.

    Wow... So it sounds like private healthcare companies are going to lose a LOT of business, and stand to lose a LOT of profit. Perhaps they'll have to do something to become competitive and win back the big customers?

    i would imagine he was referring to anyone who has control over their healthplan. why would obama claim to be able to enforce which health plan private companies choose to go with?

    He can enforce it, by making it more expensive to go with a private plan. I remember something about how if you go with a private plan, in addition to those costs, you have to pay to supliment the gov plan as well. So, that being the case...why would anyone pay more to get the same thing?
    When it comes to GOP stupidity, there's no need to make stuff up.
