During a conference call with reporters, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius pointed out that getting insurance is different than buying a toaster.
In spite of frequent differences, many think that Sebelius nailed it:
@sunnyright @RBPundit @philipaklein True. Toasters are actually useful, reasonably priced & functional.

Yeah, I've easily bought a toaster online. And I didn't have to. RT @philipaklein: Sebelius: "Insurance is different than buying a toaster"

RT @BDayspring: Yes. I can keep my toaster if I like it. RT @philipaklein: Sebelius: "Insurance is different than buying a toaster"

"Insurance is different than buying a toaster." True. You can't force people to buy a toaster.

The toaster is still loyal. RT @philipaklein: Sebelius: "Insurance is different than buying a toaster"

Yes, and who is to blame for that? RT @philipaklein: Sebelius: "Insurance is different than buying a toaster"

So it’s agreed. Sebelius was correct on her point. #Bipartisanship
It used to be just like buying products online, but apparently not any more:
Didn't Obama compare it to buying a television on Amazon? RT @philipaklein: Sebelius: "Insurance is different than buying a toaster."

Sebelius – "Insurance is very different than buying a toaster." We've come a long way from this will be like buying a TV on Amazon.
