President Obama is not backing down when it comes to his health bill although mounting pressure from Congressional leaders and the public suggest he should. The President told a group of supporters at a fundraiser that he wanted to layout the facts about his plan for affordable health insurance, let Republicans share their ideas for the plan, and then let voters decide what is best for them.
Things have been looking pretty grim for the President health bill since Republican, Scott Brown, won the special election for Senate in Massachusetts. The win ended the Democrats supermajority in the Senate, and completely stopped the bill from moving forward.
President Obama says once Congressional Democrats come to an agreement on the final bill he planned to push for a public debate. Things have turned very confusing for voters during the long health bill Congressional battle. Mr. Obama says voters are left believing things that really aren’t true.”They are certain that they would have to go onto a government plan, which isn’t true. They are still pretty sure that they would have to give up their doctor.”
If there is a public debate about the health bill, it is still not clear whether Americans will get behind it. Although millions of Americans don’t have medical insurance, they say they are tired of the healthcare reform bill battle, and really just want the President to focus on providing more jobs.
