Barack Obama Listens To Health Insurance Lobbyists and Ignores Everyone Else
by Jerry Conover Monday, Feb. 25, 2008 at 2:28 PM

What is Barack Obama's true position on health insurance?

The quotes from this story are from ( In Illinois, Obama dealt with lobbyists ) by the Boston Globe. Under the title. "But as candidate, he faults Clinton for ties"
To quote from page 1, paragraph 2. "Over the next 15 months, insurers and their lobbyists found a sympathetic ear in Obama, who amended the bill more to their liking"
To quote from page 2 of 3 paragraph 3. "Most significant, universal healthcare became merely a policy goal instead of state policy"
To quote from page 3 of 3 paragraph 1. "Still, Obama's willingness to hear out insurers and their lobbyists is revealing given the posture he strikes today on the presidential campaign trail - that lobbyists, insurance companies, and other big-industry special interests have an outsized and polluting influence policy-making in Washington."
