Here’s a mini summary;
President Barack Obama insisted Monday “the time is now” for healthcare reform as he geared up for a major address to Congress this week aimed at getting his top domestic policy priority back on track.
Taking his case for a healthcare overhaul to America’s economically hard-hit heartland, Obama sought to seize back the initiative on the divisive issue after losing ground to critics during a turbulent summer.
“It’s time to do what’s right for America’s working families, to put aside the partisanship, to come together as a nation, to pass health insurance reform now — this year,” Obama told a wildly cheering crowd at a Labor Day picnic held by the AFL-CIO union coalition in Cincinnati, Ohio.
