Negotiating with Terrorists

It's awfully hard to take President Obama seriously about anything when he insists on negotiating the terms of health care reform with people who announce publicly their determination to destroy any form of health care reform at all.

Nonetheless, here's the money quote from President Obama's Weekly Address:

For all the chatter and the noise out there, what every American needs to know is this: If you don’t have health insurance, you will finally have quality, affordable options once we pass reform. If you do have health insurance, we will make sure that no insurance company or government bureaucrat gets between you and the care that you need. And we will deliver this in a fiscally responsible way.

Without a Public Option, there is no fucking 'affordable' coverage.

Coverage is a bureaucratic promise to deny to pay - legally.
Care is access to medical attention as needed for trauma or prevention.

Take all the rhetoric about insurance and jam it up the collective butt of the electorate.
