President Obama: Healthcare status quo is not an option

From our friends at Whitehouse.gov:

Today, July 15, President Obama was joined by members of the American Nurses Association in the Rose Garden, where he spoke strongly on the urgent need for health care reform. He explained that the status quo is not an option, and that deferring reform is akin to defending that status quo.

The President stated again that rising costs are unsustainable, which is why reform benefits all Americans, whether they are insured or not. The President also assured that those who like their health care can keep it, and reform will save you money by bringing down costs, providing more choices, and keeping insurance companies honest. Inaction is not an option, but real progress is being made.
