You're Getting Played
You are getting played for a fool. But then, you elected him, so why wouldn't he assume you were a fool?
Take a look at Palin on tort reform. Specific problem, specific solution.
Also, how about making it illegal for states to stop health insurance companies from selling across state lines? How about giving tax write-offs for catastrophic insurance but not for full insurance? Etc. There are specific problems with the system and they have specific solutions. Anytime a government official tells you he needs to replace the entire system, you're being played for a fool. Follow the money and the power. The official ends up with the power and the money if you agree to his plan, doesn't he?
