President Obama Calls Health Insurance Reform Key to Stronger Economy and Improvement on Status Quo

WASHINGTON – In his weekly address, President Barack Obama called health insurance reform critical to our nation’s long-term economic strength and dispelled the outlandish rumors being promoted by those who are defending the status quo. The President has called for reform which will protect people against unfair insurance practices; provide quality, affordable insurance to every American; and bring down rising costs that are swamping families, businesses, and our budgets. Health insurance reform shouldn’t be about Washington politics. It’s about American lives, businesses and our future.
