1. What does this exchange in four years mean?

2. President Obama is just trying to change the language but exchange it basically Public Option and ..

it will take time to implement that is why the delay is in place. There was health care expert on a show saying why this was the case. I think the speehc did hit all the right notes and he called out the lies for what they were but also reaching for peoples compassion as being part of what made the nation great. He did mention the public option though from the transcript I read he is just trying not to make the word reationary and focused on what it would do for people. THe speech was outstanding he put the nonsense to bed and we must promote all it's positives and its unification and avoid Wilson from overshadowing that too much, the message of the speech is everything, it was a powerhouse speech.

4. Just what I'm hearing the plan was set to start in 4 years time regardless ...

With the trigger seperately just making the whole plan just a maybe and possibility, but the plan itself does seem to of been set for 4 years time to set up and adjust. I read the exchange as being the place where you have a price comparison of the public option and other plans out there. He did mention his support for the public option tonight he just didn't say it lot of times. He showed how vital reform was and doing nothing is worse case scenario, some on the right have no clue htat is the case, because all they've heard is the lies. They tune in for state addresses though. The main thrust of speech was to me debunk the lies and to state that the nation can do this because when people have come together before they've shown a lot of heart. He was reaching for peoples sense of decency, which can get clouded when they've been fed fear and doubt.
