President Obama Faces Key Test in Health Care Speech
Obama's speech comes after many legislators were heckled by irate health insurance reform opponents over the summer at public forums on health care, dubbed "town hall meetings."
The speech is a crucial test for Obama, who also faces a drop in support for the war in Afghanistan as security deteriorates and casualties rise in the eight year-old conflict.
Obama's health care reform plans, a key plank of his 2008 presidential campaign, face trouble especially over "public option" plans, which supporters say are necessary to keep the insurance industry honest and help cover the 46 million uninsured Americans.
The debate has dented Obama's popularity: a Pew Research Center poll released Friday has the president's approval rating dropping 10 points, to 52 percent, since his 100-day mark in April.
The economy however was giving some encouraging signs, with the number of job losses decreasing in August.
On Monday, Labor Day in the United States, Obama told union workers in Cincinnati, in the northern state of Ohio, that the country is on the "road to recovery" after a year of financial turmoil.
"We're also going to build an America where health reform delivers more stability and security to every American," Obama said.
