Why did Obama switch from Health Care Reform to now Insurance reform?
Obama's minions conducted surveys which indicated that Americans were happy with their health care but not so happy with their insurance providers. Insurance providers that are saddled with Government mandated regulations and HMO's. So the Government creates the insurance and health care problem then the Government proposes that even more Government will solve the problem. Tell me does tossing gasoline on a fire put it out or does it make it burn more profusely ?

He is losing on healthcare reform... so he finds a new "scapegoat" as his Master Alinsky has taught him in his book "Rules for Radicals." Interesting strategy in THEORY, but some say in practice it is actually starting to backfire for Mr Obama. You reap what you sow, if he keep sowing lies and see where that gets him in the future. It will not be good for him soon. There are consequences for every one of his actions... and no good deed goes unrewarded also!

* It's still about making health care affordable. * It was never implied that it would be free. It was always intended to be paid for by premiums, much like private insurance. * The public option *was* the plan to make it affordable, per the first two points. It wasn't a separate issue. * Requiring health insurance was part of Obama's platform when he ran for election - anyone who didn't know that simply didn't read the information available all along.

because health care is an individuals responsibility and insurance is an evil corporation.
either way, the problem is congress doesn't want to read the bill and the american citizens have woke up and will no longer put up with the BS in Washington,,,,,,,,,
counting the days to the midterm election,,, where's the new political party, neither the dems or reps deserve a vote.

He is just trying to figure out a way to sell it. His goal is total control of our lives. He doesn't care how he achieves it. What ever people will believe is fine with him.
He should write a book: The Art of lying, or, The Art of Deception.. he is very good at it.; Wait, Saul Alinsky already did that. It's called Rules for Radicals and Obama was a very astute student.
KJ- excellent answer!
One could easily envision Satan saying of Obama; that's my boy!

Because the polls showed Nazi Pelosi that the word "INSURANCE" was so much more emotional than "HEALTHCARE" and had a more negative connotation. That is why they switched.
They do not do these polls for no reason. It is all a psychological assault against the public.

In January it was Wall Street executives...we got "American recovery and reinvestment act of 2009"
In April it was Car manufacturers...."Car industry bail-out"
Now it's Insurance companies..."America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009"
Just wait, before the end of this year it will be energy companies to get his "Crap & Trade" signed in to law.
This administration needs bogeyman to get their agenda through in spending our money.

Because that is what it has really been all along, a reform of health insurance.

Semantics-it's supposed to make us "feel" better. Just like the war on terror is now an "overseas contingency operation", and illegal immigrants are now "undocumented workers.".

He knows the people that voted for him are generally not interested in "details" and that they will stand by his side. Obama is just trying to trick the rest of us.

barry and thugs have been forced to use all the lies in their playbook and the thinking Americans still are not buying what they are selling.
