After almost a week overseas, President Obama returned today to concentrate on a polarizing domestic issue that being health care reform. He left Paris earlier today after months of insisting that he would leave the details up to Congress. Well, he's decided to take charge of a major push to have a health care reform bill drafted by fall. "Simply put, the status quo is broken. We can't continue this way. If we do nothing, everyone's health care would be put in jeopardy. Within a decade we will spend one dollar out of every five we earn on health care and we will keep getting less for our money. That's why fixing what's wrong with our health care system is no longer a luxury we hope to achieve, -it's a necessity we can't postpone any longer." During his election campaign last year, President Obama promised to provide health care for all Americans and it's estimated about 45 million Americans are uninsured. (www.hxen.net)
