Obama is sensitive to criticism and that makes him, well, lie.
Yesterday President Obama spoke about his health-care agenda at the annual meeting of the American Medical Association in Chicago. Mr. Obama reiterated his desire for a public-plan option modeled after Medicare that would compete with private insurance plans. Speaking to the audience of health-care providers, Mr. Obama claimed that a public plan was about competition and would not be a “Trojan horse for a single-payer system.”
So now “Single Payer” is yet another liberal idea that has a negative connotation. Heh.
