I totally agree. I am simply pointing out that the problem is not *who pays* the problem is the total cost and that cost is out of control. If you know anyone that owns a business, it's likely that their costs have doubled since 2000. These cost increases are not due to who pays the bill. Thus simply changing who pays the bill won't fix the problem, it'll just mean the premiums of everyone will grow until they bankrupt us. Tossing that trend over the wall won't fix the trend. The President is looking to FIX THE PROBLEM, not to just shift it.
