Health Reform

En Español

HHS Secretary Sebelius reiterates President Obama’s message to Congress of finding ways to come together to pass health insurance reform for the American people.

“By the time I’m finished speaking tonight, more Americans will have lost their health insurance. Millions will lose it this year. Our deficit will grow. Premiums will go up. Co-pays will go up. Patients will be denied the care they need. Small business owners will continue to drop coverage altogether. I will not walk away from these Americans. "

- President Barack Obama in his State of the Union speech, 1/27/10

At a town hall meeting in Elyria, Ohio, President Obama discussed health insurance reform and said "I am not going to walk away just because it's hard…I'm not going to watch more people get crushed by costs or denied care they need by insurance-company bureaucrats."
