HEALTH CARE SUMMIT

GOOD LUCK TODAY, MR. PRESIDENT!

[NICK ANDERSON | Houston Chronicle]A Times Editorial

Today’s the day.  President Obama has extended an invitation to Congressional leaders, both Republicans and Democrats, to meet with him in a six-hour televised Health Care Reform summit at Blair House across the street from the White House.  This is an opportunity for Republicans and Democrats to shine a light on their respective ideas for how to solve a serious problem for our nation.

Democrats cannot let Health Care Reform fail once again.  This is not just a Democratic Party issue any more, it has now become an issue for national survival.

With the rapid rate escalation in health insurance costs, soon only the wealthy will be able to afford health care.  And if the Republicans take over Washington again anytime soon, Medicare will be privatized and access to Medicaid will be limited.  We cannot lose this fight to insure millions of Americans and bend the curve downward in the ever-escalating costs of health care.

WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU, MR. PRESIDENT!
