Obama says He’s Listening to Republicans


President Obama plans to use the ideas from Republicans to make them a part of healthcare reform legislation. The president will soon unveil a health care bill that will make good health insurance affordable for all Americans, and put caps on the insurance industry for high premium costs and denying people coverage.

During the health summit Mr. Obama listened to the ideas of Republicans, took notes and said he felt both sides helped make it a civil, productive meeting. The President told Republicans that many provisions they mentioned were already included in his plan, and that other GOP proposals were worth including.
Republicans ideas included:

  • cracking down on fraudulent medical charges
  • revamping ways to resolve malpractice disputes
  • boosting doctors’ Medicaid reimbursements
  • offering tax incentives for curbing patients’ visits to doctors.

    President Obama is slated to release his plan very soon, and is working to rally Democrats to pass the bill on a fast-track process — called reconciliation. This medical insurance bill could come to life without the support of Republicans.
