It's not just about insuring the 15% of the uninsured, it is also about making existing healthcare more affordable for the other 85%. My healthcare premiums are outpacing my salary increases. Just this year they went up 9.5%

that's some plain talking
I would love to have healthcare coverage, but since I'm over 300lbs, I'm not elligible. Yes, I'm one of the uninsured, but that DOES NOT MEAN I DON'T GET HEALTHCARE. I see my doctors, pay for my presciptions. Fortunately, I only have to worry about me and not a family. But my doctor bills are typically discounted, because I pay vs the hasle & paperwork of dealing with an insurance company. But now under this proposed "healthcare bill', I will have to pay an extra $1000 BECAUSE I'M NOT INSURED!!!!! WHY aren't the Dems spelling out EXACTLY what's in the bill? WHY aren't they telling us EXACTLY HOW this bill will "reduce my costs"? WHY is Obama being nothing more than a cheerleader, rather than actually calling the plays and explaining exactly what he wants done? Specifics? WHY are the Dems going back into the bill to make sure what Rep. Wilson yelled, was not actually the truth?

Well, it is a plain-talking style, and he delivers his message well.
OTOH, he doesn't seem to be too concerned about the facts, rather he continues to lower the debate. Too bad.

"lower the debate"???? seems to me that he's reminding us that we can do (and have done) better, especially that innovation does not come from government, but from normal people (not in government) and government getting out of their way

I am interested in your claim that innovation doesn't come from government. I thought it was the US government that put a man on the moon. Lots of innovation there. It was just the first example that came to mind, I am sure there are others.
