Is it the same one as Baucus? It sounds a lot alike from what Obama has said about it during his speech and the liberals seem to hate it... does that mean they hate Obama's plan as well? I think there are good things and bad things about Baucus' plan but I haven't heard the details of Obama's plan... its been how long now and still no specifics? At least Baucus' plan has more "concrete" funding sources than Obama's "save" from his imagination funding...

He doesn't have one. He keeps talking but he has no real plan. He just has some things he wants, but above all he wants to have public option in it. Now why would that probably be?

He said he was going to "write" the legislation... are you suggesting he is "lying" about that?

What hasn't he lied about concerning this plan that is dead in the water? Yes, I am saying that. But you knew that anyway, didn't you?

Ohhhhh probably to keep the insurance industry honest wouldn't you say? I mean why else would the insurance fear other than their bloated bonuses and golden parachutes are in jeopardy.

Well, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt as I would give anyone... but my patience has a time limit and he has been locked away in the white house for awhile... a little bit of details about his plan would be nice cause I didn't get much from his talk to Congress... I was hoping for specifics but it was more of a call for bipartisanship... I can't see liberals giving up their ideological beliefs... how can I see repubs doing the same? Its not a one-way street but neither liberals nor repubs see the signs... unfortunately, neither does our president... calling for bipartisanship but not asking for and incorporating republican ideals is still maintaining a liberal ideology...

There is no plan that 0bama spoke of and never will be... just a bunch of hype to get the sheeple stirred up and crying for Gov HC reform some more. Why do you think he is going on Letterman and gonna campaign all over TV thereafter ! Got to try and get the sheeple herded up again, then he's gonna attempt to drive them to the slaughter house in a last ditch effort.

Too many real Americans are on to his game... the sheeple will never make it to slaughter because of them.

In order to write the legislation Obama would have to stop his "Look At Me" tour. When does this man have time to write legislation and attend to his duties as POTUS when he is constantly making public appearances to promote himself? He needs to go to a rehab program for Narcissists.

Obama does not have a plan, he has a skeleton so he can then change things around to his own liking.

An old trick to get you to go with what he says but leave a loophole to make changes later.

The dem party is a mess with this, the congressional leaders are not even on the same page as Obama.

No wonder things are falling apart under the dem WH and congress, none of them can work together let alone get something done.
