The Man With the Plan
President Obama at a Democratic National Committee fundraising reception in New York City yesterday presented his most clear-cut strategy to date for passing health reform. Obama said that after lawmakers work out the differences between the House and Senate reform bills, he wants to meet publicly with Democrats, Republicans and independent experts to consider the measures and clarify particular reform provisions for U.S. residents. Obama said lawmakers and the independent experts would then hold a debate on the overhaul proposals before Congress decides whether to pass a reform bill. Obama also said he wants to work through the proposals "in a methodical way, so that the American people can see and compare what makes most sense." Obama pledged to refute false statements and misunderstandings about reform proposals throughout the debate, as well as to always consider alternate ideas from Republicans. He also said that lawmakers should "take [their] time" in evaluating a final bill.
