You know the more I read about the insurance company horrors, the more I think Obama really screwed up with how this was presented.

How is it now the insurance companies are looking to be the winners along with big pharma?

Trying to sell people the public plan, increasing coverage dramatically while reducing costs for Medicare $500 Billion does not add up.

If the push was to make minimum coverage requirements uniform across the whole nation, along with protections for pre existing coverage, all the other things wrong with present private insurance, etc, perhaps the public would have responded better.

If the insurance companies were told this is the playing field and here are the rules they would figure out how to do it better than the government could.

In this case the health insurers would need to adapt and the insured would be the winners.
