Biden was great, but one health care point he failed to rebut ,,,
was that Obama's health plan DOES NOT force you out of your own coverage into a government system. Palin stated this along with other HC falsehoods. Biden slapped down all her assertions, but forgot about this one.

It is imperative people realize that if they like their health insurance, then nothing will change under Obama (except for possibly lower premiums).

I am sure in the next 2 debates Obama will make this very clear. Too many people hear universal health care and immediately have visions of an ineffecient, beurocratic appartus representing "socialized medicine"

1. True
I think the campaign needs to be hammering even harder on McCain's health plan. Especially the part about paying $7K per year more out of pocket.

2. Snopes and Fact Check will catch it, but will treat every misplaced pause by Biden as
though it were the same as huge lies by Palin. That is what they do with Obama--nitpick.
