care, sign up cause it s hot commander in chief and i m two term strong, plus i ve got this health care which has got it going on i am a nice dress with some nice drinks, see this flag pin so, is the fight to win young americans working? three of them are joining us. andrew leonard is an i.t. consultant who recently had his health plan canceled. james schindler is a corporate lawyer here in washington and karen agnus is with the independent women s forum. first to you, andrew. did that rap inspire you to go out and want to buy health insurance and your friends? it s a catchy tune, but it doesn t really make me want to do anything. and as far as my friends are concerned, it doesn t really motivate anybody, i think. james? well, first and foremost, there s something strange going on. typically in a democracy, it s the people that tell the government what we want, but here you have the government trying to coerce us into getting something that they want.
