ONLY YOU AND YOU AND YOU

President Obama and his team denounce the outcry over the mess that is Obamacare on the grounds the number of people that are covered by their own personal non-employer, non-government health policies and who may lose those policies and have to pay significantly higher premiums for policies with higher deductibles is "only 5%" of the population.

Do you know that 5% of the population is more than the total combined population of everyone living in:

PHILADELPHIA   
PHOENIX   
SAN ANTONIO   
DALLAS   
INDIANAPOLIS   
SAN FRANCISCO   
DETROIT   
MEMPHIS   
BOSTON   
SEATTLE   
DENVER   
NASHVILLE
BALTIMORE   
LOUISVILLE   
PORTLAND   
OKLAHOMA CITY   
MILWAUKEE   
SACRAMENTO   
KANSAS CITY   
SALT LAKE CITY

Oh, is that all it is?

Foolish me to think that 5% is a large enough number to warrant our concern...and that "only 5%" doesn't do them justice.

I guess it's just another Hillary moment:  "So what difference does it really make?"
