My question to Obama (via Organizing For America)

I was invited (via email) to attend a health INSURANCE reform forum, and was also invited to submit a question. Here's the question I submitted. I hope it gets asked:

In my invitation, this event was billed as a forum on "health INSURANCE reform", while the RSVP billed this event as a forum on "health CARE reform". Since paying for health CARE goes against the health INSURANCE industry's fiduciary obligation to maximize profits for their shareholders, I feel health CARE reform can best be accomplished by expanding the medicare program to cover all of us, allowing us to opt-out of for-profit insurance if we choose to.

So my question to President Obama is: Do you intend to reform health INSURANCE, or health CARE?

1. A Very Good Question

Perhaps if we inundate him with that question, we'll actually get an answer.

2. Yeah, I was really stunned when I saw insurance/care mixed together.

It did give me the perfect opening though.
