""I asked you for an 'honest assessment', and you have failed to do so, other than skirt the issue.""

I don't know what Don Firth's answer will be, but I have a point to make on this subject.

Songwronger has a history of re-hashing every slanderous reference to Obama by every n**ger hating redneck bigot in the USA. Normally his offerings can easily be proved to be egregious garbage by ten seconds research.

This time, however, he is right, at least insofar as Obama did mistakenly say that anybody could, if he preferred, keep his present scheme, and as far as the individual is concerned, that is true.

However, if the insurance company concerned refuses to bring its terms of business up to the minimum standard required, it is the insurance company which is preventing continuity, not Obama.

This is the important distinction which apparently completely escapes the notice of the very bigotted Songwronger.

If Obama allowed sub standard healthcare to be sold to citizens, Songwronger would be in the front line of protest at his lack of concern for their wellbeing, because his target isn't policies, it's Obama, the black man in the White House.

Would you expect a civilised government to allow the sale of sub standard Food?........Drugs?.......Clothing? Cars? Housing?.......NO?

Then why sub standard healthcare, or no healthcare? Both perfectly O.K. with the Republican Party!
