Tanner is on the Kudlow Report right now.

The way I look at it, our system is already mostly socialized. To me, HSA's count as market-oriented health care, but the usual employer health plans do not. So the way I look at it, if this were a football game, the other team already is in the red zone and they've got the ball. The fans are yelling loudly on both sides, but if the ball moves at all, it is only going to be a few yards closer to a socialist touchdown. The Democrats are arguing among themselves over what play to call, and Obama is going to give them a Knute Rockne speech to try and hold them together.

The big shock would be if he advocated something that rolls back some of the socialism in the existing system. But obviously he is not going to do that with respect to Medicare or Medicaid. The most he could do is advocate taxes on employer-provided health insurance. If he says we have to do that, then I will say that the speech exceeded my expectations.
