His plan to "cover the uninsured" was not a plan. His way of doing that was to pass a law making it mandatory for every US citizen to PURCHASE insurance and, if they didn't, they would face a steep fine.
That is not a plan to provide insurance. (It is a plan to perpetuate a corrupt system.)
Barack Obama better grasp really quickly his problem is not the Republican Party; his problem is the fact that the American people (left, right, center and apathetic) did not take a shine to his lousy plan to funnel billions of their dollars into Big Pharma and the out-of-control Insurance Industry.
