The Council for Affordable Health Insurance says top-level Democrats would be unlikely to accept the limitations a government-run health care system would impose on care choices.
CAHI, Alexandria, Va., notes that an audience member present during an ABC interview with President Obama asked Obama whether he would take his family outside a government health care system to get care not provided by the system.
"Unfortunately, the president never answered that question," CAHI says in a commentary on the interview. "And no wonder: Powerful people, and especially members of Congress, will create an exception for themselves."
