Read Potter's book.
In many ways he's as naive as Ann# Frank ("Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart."). Or EIizabeth W-arren, who thinks Obama made her his "special adviser" to make an effective c/onsumer pro-tection ag#ncy.
You don't get to be an executive in an insurance cor-poration (or "a special adviser" to the president) without having signed on to the 'Es-tablishment' perspective. Or really, swallowing the 'establishment's hier-archical organizational chart' hook, line and sink-er.
These are particular personality types that have chased after the brass ring, believe that it's possible to succeed to the top AND do good. Their entire e-gos' intactness require them holding on to that belief, and that Obama is the good and kind klng. They haven't figured out how to question it, how to doubt it, how to come to realize that the system they've dedicated their entire lives to is cor-rupt to the core without loslng their sense of self.
Potter is operating on the notion that Obama-care can be saved. That since it's a fait accompli, you work within the system, you nlp and tuck it to get what you want or need.
The problem with that is that the same powerful forces that prevented it from being what was necessary in the first place are now more powerful. Between the massive influx of money from man-dates, Citi-zens Unlted is buying them more and more poIiticians, more Iobbyists (like you billy). They are 12 steps ahead of those who are trying to nip and tuck, work within the sys-tem.
People like Potter (an 'estabIshment eIitist', in spite of his 'goodness' (whistIeb/owing status) can afford to think "nip-ping and tuck-ing" is the solution. They can afford to take the chance, wait it out. I guarantee ya that Potter's got GREAT in-surance.
