Obama attacks insurance companies

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama attacked insurance companies Saturday, saying they have resorted to "smoke and mirrors" to try to sink healthcare reform.

The nation has never been closer to reform that would prevent continuing increases in costs, which would "devastate" the nation's economy, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.

"But this is not the time to pat ourselves on the back; this is not the time to grow complacent," the president said.

Just days after the Senate Finance Committee approved its healthcare-reform bill -- one of five in Congress -- Obama acknowledged "significant details and disagreements" need to be worked out.

But he singled out for criticism insurance companies that he said have grown desperate in a "last-ditch" attempt to block reform.

Hey Lord Zero, I'll take my chances with what the rising medical costs will do to the economy rather than what unfettered government spending and printing of money will do to the economy.

He's really endearing himself to the millions of people who work in the insurance industry.

Chairman MaObama just hates free market capitalism. He's a Marxist-Leninist Socialist and all he does is spew lies and distort the truth. In short, he's a Piece of Shit.
