In a speech today Obama laid out some of his plans for a new national health care program. This has been widely opposed by doctors and healthcare groups and as usual with Obama his idea of "compromise" is "you do what I say or heads will roll." For example he's "not advocating caps on malpractice awards which I believe can be unfair to people who’ve been wrongfully harmed""

In a totally not surprising shift from his stance during the campaign, Obama is now willing to force every American to have health insurance, not just present them with a govt. subsidized plan for their perusal.

Trying to sugarcoat the plan, Obama also stated that this government mandated and run healthcare system would not be like Europe and would actually save money. His health Czar probably told him to say that one (more on the Czar effect in the next post.)

I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
