WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is trying to rally support for his health care overhaul bill by telling Democrats that Republicans fear that the legislation will end up being popular.
In a televised meeting with House Democrats on Capitol Hill, Obama told the lawmakers that Republicans realize that once the bill becomes law, "Low and behold, nobody's pulling the plug on granny."
That was a reference to opponents' false claims last summer that the health bill would let government bureaucrats make life and death decisions.
Obama said voters would like the bill's features that take effect this year, including restrictions on insurance companies and allowing parents to keep insurance coverage for children until they reach age 26.

I have to say, I watched MSNBC last night and that was the mantra.... “Will Repub’s regret not going along with Health Care” like they are suddenly worried about our political future. Hysterical
All together now: Why insult SOB's?
He doesn’t LOOK like Tinkerbell but it sounds like he’s been into fairy dust......
Zer0 apparently can’t stop himself from lying.
Why won’t the dam dems just vote like zero always did, and just say present!
Sheesh!
Obtuse psy-ops
Hey Obama, repeat after me ...
“16,500 new IRS agents”
“16,500 new IRS agents”
“16,500 new IRS agents”
I knew you could do it.
Has anyone actually read this provision? Does it require that the parent's employer offer coverage to their employee's children up until the age of 26? Or, does it apply only to people who have individual plans?
If it's the former and not the latter, it's a HUGE back-door tax on employers. If it's the latter, it's going to inevitably raise premiums. Why is this so difficult to understand? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
hey b.o., F.U.b.o!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, in his case ...
Whats the difference between Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez..
Absolutely NOTHING..they are both one in the same
Inconceivable!
Oh yes bambi, the deathcare bill is so wildly popular that is why you have struggled for nearly a year to get it passed, and with a supermajority, and still have not got it passed, and have had to repeatedly bribe and threaten even to get the votes you have.
What a compleat idiot.
