The President gave a masterful speech and made a compelling case for health care reform.
Republicans are playing the "game of politics" with Americans' health care.
This debate is not a game for these Americans, and they cannot afford to wait for reform any longer.
Controlling health-care costs is essentially to repairing the American economy costs and assuring that Americans have access to quality health care.
If we do not control these costs, we will not be able to control our deficit. If we do not reform health care, your premiums and out-of-pocket costs will continue to skyrocket.
If we do not act, 14,000 Americans will continue to lose their health insurance every single day. These are the consequences of inaction.
There's no question Democrats have the votes to pass a bill.
The stars are aligned, and we need to take advantage of that. We will pass reform that lowers cost, promotes choice and provides coverage that every American can count on, and we will do it this year.
