Nora --
The millions of Americans suffering in a health care system that costs too much, and denies too many care, cannot afford another year-long debate. President Obama made that clear at yesterday's bipartisan meeting on reform: While he is listening to good ideas from both sides of the aisle and hopes to move forward in a bipartisan fashion, the American people cannot afford an incremental approach. Watch highlights from the bipartisan meeting here. Yesterday, the President extended a hand to the Republicans and showed he's open to any idea that will help cover the uninsured, cut costs, and give Americans control over their own health care. But he made clear that the millions of Americans who cannot afford insurance can't wait on political games in Washington. After this meeting, all ideas are on the table. Now, Congress must move swiftly to complete and pass a final bill. It was a conversation focused on substance, not process, and it showed. Both sides found areas of agreement. But there was a fundamental divide on establishing common sense rules to protect families from the worst insurance company practices, and making sure that every American -- rich or poor, old or young -- has access to care. The President does not believe we can address a problem this big incrementally -- or after another year of rising costs and loss of coverage.
