Obama Comes Back Roaring Into Healthcare Debate
In his much awaited joint speech to Congress Wednesday night, he declared, "I will not stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are.
"If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out. And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now."
He also warned he would not "waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than improve it."
Failure to introduce reforms had led the country to breaking point, he reasoned and noted hence it was now the time to act.
All Americans would be required by law to have health insurance under his proposal, President Obama said. He noted the requirement would be similar to mandatory auto insurance in most states and also would mandate businesses to either offer health care coverage to workers or contribute to covering their costs of obtaining coverage.
"There will be a hardship waiver for those individuals who still cannot afford coverage, and 95 percent of all small businesses, because of their size and narrow profit margin, would be exempt from these requirements," he said. "But we cannot have large businesses and individuals who can afford coverage game the system by avoiding responsibility to themselves or their employees.
