After months of debate, meetings, addresses, etc, what does Obama want in his healthcare plan and how does he plan to achieve it?
He wants to give congress a chance to hammer it out. We all (even you) know that the current system can not continue and must be fixed, he is giving them the chance to do it, unfortunately they (for the most part) playing politics with out health.
He wants a plan that will be seen as a victory for him and one that will help him get re-elected. Simple really.
Now this is a very good question David and I do believe that he should come out and state quite clearly what he wants, he ows this to his supporters who believe they know what he wants and also to his opponents who tell the world what they think he wants.
He wants the best ideas form both sides of the political spectrum, unfortunately the republicans are only offering political games.
I think that you are missing the point. There is a problem and congress has to write a bill to address it, if it is reasonable Obama will sign it.
No, you are missing the point. This is a major issue, one in which Obama has invested a lot of time & energy but we still don't know what his vision is. Why can't he just make his case & let everyone decide? This really shouldn't be that hard.
Hey how about those Phillies? AT&T is up three points. I think pink roses are much prettier than white ones. Do you think the price of french fries will keep going up? My dog threw up today. Bob told me that smoking is dangerous. Corn chips taste a lot like corn. Hydrogen peroxide is on sale at Walmart. E=MC2. Similarly, the Ohio River twists and bends. Never clean coins, somebody will find out.

Political games like wanting to know the price tag? Where the money is coming from? Specifics on mandates and increased taxes? Silly Republicans.
What is "reasonable" to Obama? Time to stop the chess game & just present the specifics or is this ABOVE HIS PAYGRADE???
BO will sign anything at this point, it is a face saving measure. The next question is why did the Whitehouse keep the cap and trade $1750 per family tax a secret since Februrary ???? We knew, now the dems are finding out " all the sudden "
