Obama's Town Hall on Health Care

TOWN HALL TAKEAWAYS: Here's what you need to know from President Obama's town hall late Wednesday afternoon at a Kroger supermarket in Bristol, Va. --

- The president repeatedly charged his critics with spreading "misinformation," declaring: "We've gotta overcome all the fear tactics and misinformation that is out there and just fix it."

- Obama praised the Kroger chain for trying to put more employees on health insurance plans -- and said he wanted to "level the playing field" among businesses. "I won't name any names," Obama continued, but "it's fair to say" that Kroger's competitors are not providing similarly good health coverage.

- Asked if he would be willing to put his own family on a public plan, Obama replied: "Yes."

- When a woman asked Obama to shoot down a rumor that elderly Americans, like her 90-year-old mother, could be forced to switch plans, Obama complied: "It isn't so...Medicare will continue to be in place. We're not going to mess with Medicare." - Politico

If your not messing with Medicare, how are you saving all this money through medicare to pay for Socialized Health Care?
