In peddling his healthcare plan, President Obama has repeatedly stretched the truth.  After a mere six months in office, Americans are tiring over how empty President Obama’s promises have become,

causing widespread skepticism of his health plan pitch.  Public support for his healthcare plan can be improved with a couple revolutionary changes in strategy.
 
Mr. Obama’s claim that his program will be “mostly paid from cost savings” raises more questions than it answers, such as where are these cost savings and why haven’t taxpayers seen them already?  However, ignoring President Obama's record of failure thus far and assuming he is sincere about paying for his healthcare program with cost savings, he could improve support for his program if he passed it in two phases.  In the first phase Mr. Obama should prove he can produce these cost savings and only when the savings come to fruition should he be permitted to implement phase two, putting forth an actual health plan. 
 
Next, in light of Mr. Obama’s repeated claim, “I will not sign onto any health plan that adds to our deficit over the next decade”, he should direct congress to insert into any bill he intends to sign, a provision that would trigger an immediate end to his plan in the event its costs ever exceed current projections.  This will ensure the program’s costs do not exceed forecasts and become crippling to our taxpayers as has been the case, without exception, in every federal government program.  The provision will more importantly provide a politically viable “exit strategy” that will ensure the program expires at the same rate as the President’s statements.
