There are various reasons why I don't think Obama's healthcare (or any federal healthcare program) is a good idea, but today happened across an Associated Press story that talks about how less and less members of his own party support his ideas, and that he is losing support across the board.
The title of the article is about health care protections, but doesn't include something I guess you could call a "protection" and that is about the cost of premiums. I can offer someone a plan today that offers the same "protections" that Obama is assuring us we'll have - you can keep your health plan as long as you pay the premiums in full, and I'll even throw in his out-of-pocket maximums (note, every plan I've looked at in the last 12 months (approximately 100 different plans from 15 different providers) all included out-of-pocket maximums). I'll admit, the troublesome part about the insurance I'll sell you today is that the premium is pretty steep... :)
A company down the road from us has a billboard that has various comments posted on it from time to time, some political, some not. The current one (or at least the last time I noticed it) says, "How's that Obama thing working out for you?"
