Wednesday evening President Obama used the phrase “health insurance reform” five times in his opening statement according to “It’s Health Insurance, Not Health Care Reform, For Obama” by Mark Knoller on cbsnews.com. The White House may think that the concept of revising health insurance instead of overhauling health care is easier to sell to Congress.
In this prime time conference in the East Room he made repeating arguments for his health insurance reform. He believes it will offer more health care security and stability, coverage for all, no denials for pre-existing illnesses, more affordable health insurance options, and less government spending. He was very adamant that his plan will not add to the deficit over the next 10 years.
The President has a stern deadline for when he wants the House and Senate to pass a health care bill which is before their August recess. He wants the rush because of the feedback he is getting from the American people on their high health insurance costs.
