Obama refuses to give people a choice between govt and private insurance

[OzarkDem]

Why does he oppose giving consumers and businesses a choice between govt insurance (like Medicare) and more expensive private insurance?

1. He allows you to choose between private or govt healthcare

I don't know what you're talking about, he allows teh choice.

4. Tell us about it, if that's true

I haven't seen it.

6. Have you watched any of the debates?

He allows anyone to buy into it, but also allows you tokeep your own plan if you like it better. Also, he mandates coverage for children but not for adults who can't afford it.

2. I think that's the Rethug's view as well. They are all about "choice".

But real Americans need affordable health care now.

5. Obamas plan would be just as affordable as Hillarys if not cheaper...

It also wouldn't mandate coverage to people who still cant afford it.

3. It's been posted directly to you

"The benefit package will be similar to that offered through Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), the plan members of Congress have. The plan will cover all essential medical services, including preventive, maternity and mental health care."

I don't know why you can't read it.
