Yeah, that's right...That's good old President Obama explaining why we have to buy health insurance. Does anything jump out as, well, not exactly true?
When I was young, just got out of college, I had to buy auto insurance. I had a beat-up old car. And I won’t name the name of the insurance company, but there was a company — let’s call it Acme Insurance in Illinois. And I was paying my premiums every month. After about six months I got rear-ended and I called up Acme and said, I’d like to see if I can get my car repaired, and they laughed at me over the phone because really this was set up not to actually provide insurance; what it was set up was to meet the legal requirements. But it really wasn’t serious insurance.
Now, it’s one thing if you’ve got an old beat-up car that you can’t get fixed. It’s another thing if your kid is sick, or you’ve got breast cancer.
This is a college graduate...a young man en route to HARVARD LAW SCHOOL...and he doesn't know the difference between liability, collision and comprehensive auto insurance? Apparently so.
Notice that he tells the story in such a way as to make the insurance company look bad. Clearly the insurance company only offered him the cheapest policy and never made any attempt to sell him a more expensive policy for his "beat-up old car."
Because we all know that no insurance agent would ever try to sell you a policy with a more expensive premium.
I am 100% in favor of health care reform.
And I am 100% opposed to what Barack Obama is selling.
BECAUSE HE IS NOT BEING HONEST.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Never has been.
Never will be.
Pretending it's otherwise will only make things worse.
There is one part of his story that made sense, though....the part where the insurance company laughed at him because he was such a dumb ass.
Just like he'll be laughing if you fall for his so-called health care reform.
