Obama Pushes Health System Overhaul


President Barack Obama bluntly told doctors Monday he is against their highest legislative priority — limiting malpractice awards — and earned a smattering of boos from an audience he was here to court for his health care overhaul plans.

Calling them "naysayers," "fear-mongers" and peddlers of "Trojan horse" falsehoods, Obama warned interest groups, lobbyists and others against using "fear tactics to paint any effort to achieve reform as an attempt to socialize medicine."
"There are those who will try and scuttle this opportunity no matter what," Obama said.
While I definitely agree that we must do something immediately to reign in the costs and inefficiencies of our healthcare system I'm not 100% sure that Obama's plan is the best.  What say you?

  1. I voted for the guy and even I'm confused about this plan. But then again maybe that's why we're in the predicament that we are now because it has gotten SO bad.
