PDF WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (UPI) — U.S. President Barack Obama attacked insurance companies Saturday, saying they have resorted to “smoke and mirrors” to try to sink healthcare reform.
The nation has never been closer to reform that would prevent continuing increases in costs, which would “devastate” the nation’s economy, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.
“But this is not the time to pat ourselves on the back; this is not the time to grow complacent,” the president said.
