Thank you mikehihn, with this:

The President says (in effect) that excluding coverage for pre-existing conditions is some vast profit-enhancing conspiracy by insurance companies.

If you believe the President, then you also believe I should be able to buy life insurance for my father .. who died 16 years ago -- if not for insurance-company greed.

you've managed dissect a gnat with a meat cleaver while wearing boxing gloves. Conservatives today just can't seem to do subtle, nuance or truth.
