How far will President Obama’s remarks on health care tonight go? We don’t know for sure yet. But we do know that, at the very least, he will call on Congress to continue its work.
By the time I’m finished speaking tonight, more Americans will have lost their health insurance. Millions will lose it this year. Our deficit will grow. Premiums will go up. Co-pays will go up. Patients will be denied the care they need. Small business owners will continue to drop coverage altogether. I will not walk away from these Americans. And neither should the people in this chamber.
That’s from the excerpts emailed over by the White House–so we still can’t say whether his remarks on reform will be limited to the above sentiment. More to come shortly.
