"Well, you know, some people will do anything for the insurance companies," Pelosi said of Boehner in an echo of the bitter fight over the health care bill.
If they are the root of all evil, and you have an alternative set of systems (medicare, caid, the "public option")...why still vilify them? Fact of the matter is, most Americans have insurance and most are happy with it. Why not simply say "insurance companies provide a valuable service, BUT there are some things they do that need to be changed and better regulated". Politically, this would be a better message...because everyone would agree.
