Today, the Tennessean published an article "Obama: Health bill good for Tennessee: President says competitive businesses have nothing to fear"
Addressing concerns of insurance companies from middle Tennessee the President said this:
"I don't think that outstanding businesses that are doing good work in Tennessee are going to be disadvantaged; I think they will be advantaged. If they're providing more efficient care, better quality care for a better price, they're going to have more customers, not fewer."
Obama stressed that his major concern was providing health coverage for the 46 million in the US without coverage and the 1.7 million in Tennessee alone. That reform wouldn't harm the concentrated health coverage industries that are providing quality care-- in fact, he expects their business to flourish.
