Obama said he understands Republicans’ concern for the U.S.’s massive budget deficit, but said “what cannot be denied is that the only way to get a handle on our medium and long term budget deficits is to corral and contain health care costs.” Obama said that while it is not absolutely necessary, he wants to pass a health care reform bill by the August congressional recess.
“My biggest job is to explain to the American people why this is so important and give them confidence that we can do better than we’re doing right now,” said Obama.
I wonder if he really believes this or if it just a sales pitch. The govt is never efficient in terms of controlling costs...and health care will prove to be no diffrent.
