WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama pumped health care allies and skeptics alike for ways to overhaul the nation's costly and frustrating system Thursday and heard only applause and agreement when he told them there's "a clear consensus that the need for health care reform is here and now."

However, he conceded at a White House summit that opinions vary widely on exactly what to do and said that winning quick approval for historic and stunningly expensive legislation won't be easy.

"Every voice has to be heard. Every idea must be considered ... The status quo is the one option that is not on the table," Obama said during the White House forum on what he calls the greatest threat to the U.S. economy — rising health care costs. Mindful of the demise of the Clinton plan, Obama warned, "Those who seek to block any reform at all, any reform at any cost, will not prevail this time around."

This will be a fun "fill-in-the-blank" exercise for all of us:

"the greatest threat to the U.S. economy is ____________":

I'll say "continuing to let the Monopoly players in Washington print money based on wealth not yet created... and never will be at this rate."

May I say...that the MARKET will block this one this time around.....even without a Wall St fiasco to deal with...the ability of the Feds to absorb their existing responsibilities was stretched....and indeed an argument could made that the Markets fainted when they glimpsed the headlight of the oncoming train that is the EXISTING entitlement burden hurtling toward us is....this is a no brainer...and he is a dithering fool.

Does Zero not understand that when once universal healthcare is implemented, businesses will drop their health insurance plans in a heartbeat?

He throws out the red herring that if you like your health insurance plan, then you can KEEP it. His plan is for the 47 million (including 15 million illegals) who don't have insurance....yada yada.

Typical liberal Marxist. There are never any consequences in their world.
