  1. "Now he belongs to the ages" http://bit.ly/Da4cA
  2. No new facts, but some clearer explanation of reform provisions. The big news: Obama doesn't back away from public option.
  3. Where do young people fall re: reform? B/c they're "cheap" to insure, as part of larger pool, less costly to purchase insurance, so req'd.
  4. Farmer's Market outside the WH? I love it!
  5. Good question: What can we, as individuals do, do improve our health? Good suggestions from Obama, but this will take big attitude shift.
  6. Obama says, "This is the belt & suspenders concept: Insurance reform is belt and public option is the suspenders."
  7. Obama: $30-40 B/year that "we've gotta come up with" to pay for reform.
  8. Spending on Iraq War = $80-90 B/month; health care reform costs = $100 B/year x 10 years. There is at least a 10-yr time limit on h/c reform
  9. Pres: "...Commitment to American people is to get a good product that includes Rep. ideas...we're gonna get this done one way or the other."
  10. He scolds journalists for the way they report the news (e.g., lies about death panels); says journalists should then say, "this is not true"
  11. I love it: he says, if you click the channels you'll find one..."that is propagating this stuff" (death panels, govt. takeover...).
  12. Tell seniors they'll keep their Medicare, but MA plans won't be subsidized, which means many seniors will face changes w/Medicare!
  13. Three questions selected: 1, email; 1, online; 1, phone.
  14. He still isn't explaining very well how he intends to reduce costs in Medicare, which is one reason seniors are scared.
  15. Obama strongly pushes public option.
  16. I'm in a strategy meeting with President Obama on health reform. Join us: http://bit.ly/FmKCU
  17. Just finished a survey for SavetheNews.org.
  18. Seems strange Al Sharpton isn't standing w/her, given his propensity for the spotlight.
  19. U really have started holiday drinking, JW. Whoa...!
  20. You're kidding about Ensign, right?
