Quote from Pop Sickle:
Are all 57 states eligible for the 3,000% premium decrease?
Or, just Nebraska? (And union members, of course.)

Obama Says a 3000% reduction in premiums
- Thread starter bugscoe
- Start date
Or, just Nebraska? (And union members, of course.)
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Can you even imagine the insults from the mainstream media if Bush or Sara Palin had said something that stupid? Obama says it....chirp...chrip...
Of course, it is also possible that liberal reporters are so math illiterate they don't grasp the issue.
of course, it is also possible that most people with at least 31% of their brain in what 99% of neurologists would term "functional" would be able to easily suss out that he meant 3000 DOLLAR decrease as in the prior sentence, he said that the individual market would see premiums fall by 14 to 20%.
then again, from the fox echos that litter this forum every day, i may be being unreasonably optimistic regarding the intellectual capacity of the bleating b-b-b-b-bovids on here.

Yep, Obama so smart he speaks in code.
Hey, Obama now says âThe Louisiana Purchase- would cover Hawaii, which went through an earthquakeâ
Work your brain because Obama doesn't have one.

Then provide the exact quote to clear up the confusion!
Sure, here you go.
"BAIER: So the Connecticut deal is still in?
OBAMA: So that's not â that's not going to be something that is going to be in this final package. I think the same is true on all of these provisions. I'll give you some exceptions though.
Something that was called a special deal was for Louisiana. It was said that there were billions â millions of dollars going to Louisiana, this was a special deal. Well, in fact, that provision, which I think should remain in, said that if a state has been affected by a natural catastrophe, that has created a special health care emergency in that state, they should get help. Louisiana, obviously, went through Katrina, and they're still trying to deal with the enormous challenges that were faced because of that.
(CROSS TALK)
OBAMA: That also â I'm giving you an example of one that I consider important. It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that's not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe.
Now I have said that there are certain provisions, like this Nebraska one, that don't make sense. And they needed to be out. And we have removed those. So, at the end of the day, what people are going to be able to say is that this legislation is going to be providing help to small businesses and individuals, across the board, in an even handed way, and providing people relief from a status quo that's just not working."
