Obama Uses Op-Ed to Criticize Health Insurance Industry - Political News - FOXNews.com

Obama Uses Op-Ed to Criticize Health Insurance Industry - Political News - FOXNews.com: "President Obama took aim at the health insurance industry Sunday, using an op-ed to accuse the insurance companies of discriminating against millions and rally support for a comprehensive reform package to hold them 'accountable.'

The op-ed in The New York Times - which was quickly criticized by House GOP Leader John Boehner -- escalated an approach the White House and congressional Democrats have taken in recent weeks, in which they've focused more on Americans who have insurance, rather than the staggering number of uninsured. In doing so, health care reform proponents have cited a litany of examples of how Americans' health insurance plans are falling short.

Though health care reform critics have flooded town halls over the past month, Obama wrote in his column that media have focused too much on the 'loudest voices' -- he suggested that those with inadequate insurance policies are clamoring for reform."
