When Obama speaks, he works magic. But he is the only person in his administration whom I believe. The rest of them contradict him in spirit if not in words and confuse matters.

I disagree with his plan on some points. I don't think much money will be saved by punishing hospitals for readmissions. Readmissions are not the fault of the hospital.

Also, I don't see the point if, as he seemed to say, some of the very poorest working people will not be covered. We will all still have to pay for their health care.

I missed the section when he explained what he really means by public option, how he defines it. Someone was talking loudly in the room in which I was listening on earphones. If anyone could tell me what he said on that, I would appreciate it.

I did assume that if people went to rate they'd see the trolls' BS and get stuck in, though. The more ratings, comments and views a video gets the higher up the search results it goes. The more people hear from his own mouth what Obama actually wants to do has got to be a good thing. There has been a large influx of (possibly paid) trolls on YouTube (and here) doing whatever they can to spread the health industry's disinformation. We need to fight back wherever and however we can. I did say in the OP 'if people have the time'. If anyone reading this has the time they can do that AND talk to skeptical voters. There are lots of other ways people can get involved, too. The link in my signature line takes you to the Organizing for America Action Center...
