The President Has Been A Big Proponent

No One Will Be Forced To Take The Public Option. The Word Option Means Choice.

For Me, Having A Daughter Made Me Much More Efficient And Productive. I Would Wake Up In The Morning Trying To Figure Out How To Organize My Day So That I Could Get Home. The Phone Calls With Friends, The Lunches Out With Colleagues - All Of That Got Scrapped So That I Could Be As Efficient And Productive As Possible.

Please Be Assured That As We Move Along Through The Implementation Of Health Insurance Reform, Making Sure That We Find Efficiencies Within The Existing System, Is Foremost On The President's Mind.

President Obama Stands Ready To Work With Everyone, Because That's What The American People Expect And Deserve - Not For The Short Term Political Advantages, But The Long Term Health Of Our Country. We Don't Spend Time Trying To Figure Out What's In The Minds Of Republicans, We Try To Keep Our Focus On The American People.

A New Era Of Responsibility Is Here.
