President Obama addressed a joint congress this evening regarding his plans for America's health care. Obama offered options for the 30 million Americans who cannot get coverage. He acknowledged the ideas of both the left and right, but said neither were perfect. He then asked America to support him in building on the health care system already in place, rather than disrupting it.
Obama reiterated the idea of "action now," stating that "our health care problem is our deficit problem." He spoke optimistically about the future of American health care, and the fact that this future lies with America's character. "We did not come here to fear the future. We came here to shape it," received applause from both parties at the end of the night.
President Obama refuses to sign a plan
