Eh.

Nice sounding rhetoric, but the specifics of how you do it are pretty important.

And if you consider all the limits he places on the system, I doubt it's even possible.

I happen to think the line about you won't have to change your insurance if you like it is about as honest as Palin's comments about the death panels. ETA: he says "nothing in this plan" will require it. No, but it might be a relatively predictable outcome if your employer thinks they can get something cheaper.

It's kind of an interesting read just to see him pander to such a wide range of constituencies. Late in the speech when he addresses reformers who wanted a lot more is probably my favorite part.
