Obama should not say "If the insurance company provides good care"

Insurance companies don't provide the care. Doctors and Hospitals do.

Now he could say that insurance companies don't provide good health coverage.

2. Hmmm yet insurance companies try to reduce costs by denying claims.

Therefore, not in all cases but does result in care not being provided.

3. I could say there are some insurance companies that don't care

and try to get out of paying for anything--and that would be true.

But what you said is very very true.

4. Kathleen Sebelius had a good response on TDS.......

She said, if the govt is so terrible at running businesses (as republicans claim......like the post office, medicare, etc) then why should insurance companies fear that they would have to compete with govt?
