Barack Obama, Insurance Salesman

President Obama wants you to buy health insurance. Like, a lot.

The president has undertaken a months-long effort to convince people, particularly the Millennials who populate his political base, to give their business to America’s largest insurance companies. This sounds odd for a guy who used a populist pitchforking of “big insurance” to goose his health law over the finish line in 2010.

But it’s not as odd as you might think. Obama built his law in private in conjunction with the same companies he was skewering in public. The same goes for the drug companies that were the preferred targets of Democrats for most of the pre-ObamaCare era. Why?

this article is not correct... Owebamacare will likely put the insurance companies out of business. The intent is to move the insuranc ecompany out of the way and let the government control your health care...

SCOTUS John Roberts approved Obamacare because it is a tax on the people or has everyone forgotten?
