Dr. Bill Thomas has written tonight’s speech for Obama, keeping it simple.

"Mumbo jumbo nice nice distinguished guests et cetera.

Here is my plan. First, The American people will be eligible to join the Federal Employees Health Exchange. That’s right, the people who elected us to office will also qualify for the same health insurance we have. Second, enrollment in Medicare, regardless of age, will be one of the options available to choose from in the health care exchange. My plan can be boiled down to 10 pages, it can be understood by anyone, it is fair, it provides competitive pressure as well as universal coverage.

To the people who will oppose my plan, I urge you to stand before your constituents and explain to them why they can not have the kind of insurance coverage that you have.

To the health insurance companies, I say, let’s see some of that legendary competitive American business mojo in action. Surely, you will be able to out-compete and out-perform the lowly government-run Medicare program.

Let the wild rumpus begin!"
