President Obama declared that the new health care law "is going to be affecting every American family." Except his own, of course.
The new health care law exempts the president from having to participate in it. Leadership and committee staffers in the House and Senate who wrote the bill are exempted as well. A weasel-worded definition of "staff" includes only the members' personal staff in the new system; the committee staff that drafted the legislation opted themselves out. Because they were more familiar with the contents of the law than anyone in the country, it says a lot that they carved out their own special loophole. Anyway, the law is intended to affect "ordinary Americans," according to Vice President Joe Biden (who - being a heartbeat away from the presidency - also is not covered), not Washington insiders.
Mr. Obama frequently tossed around the talking point that the new law gave people the same type of coverage as Congress enjoyed. In his March 20 health care pep talk to wavering Democrats on Capitol Hill, the president said one of the advantages of the health care legislation was that "people will have choice and competition just like members of Congress have choice and competition." At yesterday's signing ceremony, Mr. Obama said Americans will be "part of a big pool, just like federal employees are part of a big pool. They'll have the same choice of private health insurance that members of Congress get for themselves." But the American people will have a public pool; the executive branch and congressional staffers kept their country-club pool private.

"It's a big fucking deal."
Are you all REALLY this stupid? There is nothing in this bill that is going to force me to change health insurance plans either. In fact there is noting in this bill that is forcing anyone with insurance to change what they have. Why should the POTUS be any different?
Ain't DELUSION Grand?
Now understand kids... she actually believes this.
And she no doubt feels that she's an intelligent human being; and as such her assurances should be accepted by other intelligent human beings; because she is after all, a virtuous person; who would NEVER advance such an Assurance without first hand knowledge... having read the entire 3000 page bill and throughly cross referenced the thousands of other statutes which this bill modifies; thus fully understanding the myriad of contextual facets relevant to this bill.
Naturally, anyone who is working on the premise that the heaping on of regulatory liability onto the Insurance industry MUST and can ONLY result in the corresponding increase in premiums... which will serve in effect as this bill forcing people to drop or CHANGE their policy... are simply ignorant tools of the Corporate Oligarchy... and that these basic principles of economics are otherwise irrelevant.
