Summary:
Ahead of Thursday's meeting on health reform to hear out new ideas from both parties, the President puts forth his proposal incorporating and improving on ideas from the House and the Senate, along with some new ones.
On Thursday the much-anticipated bipartisan meeting on health reform will be held at the Blair House across the way from the White House. With Congress having spent most of a year discussing and debating reform, the President put forward a proposal to work off of during the meeting to help lay out a path forward. The proposal aims to give the American people and small business owners more control over their health care choices by building on the progress Congress has already made, and including new ideas from both parties and the President himself.
