So far, during President Obama‘s town hall event in New Hampshire, there have been no major disruptions. He began with the idea that disagreement is “legitimate” but should be civil. “Where we do disagree, let’s disagree over things that are real, not wild misrepresentations,” he said.
In the key argument so far, the president said, “rationing…is a legitimate concern, so i just want to address this.” He went on to say:
Right now insurance companies are rationing care. So why is it that people would prefer having insurance companies make those decisions rather than medical experts and doctors figuring out what are good deals for care and providing that information to you, as consumers, so you can make good decisions?
More to come.
