President Obama will deliver a health care speech tonight to a joint session of congress at 8 pm EST, the speech will be televised live on CNN. Some of the media has touted this speech as the most important speech of Obama's lifetime.
In an interview with ABC's Good Morning America, Obama said he will talk tonight about "the best way to move forward" on a plan that covers the uninsured and provides everybody with better health care coverage, but does not increase the budget deficit.
"They will know the plan provides safety, security and stability to the millions of people that have health insurance each and every day, but watching their premiums skyrocket and double," spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday on CNN's "American Morning." "Secondly, for those who don't have health insurance, but need affordable coverage, he will lay out a plan for how people can get that, as well. He'll talk about the cost on government and why we can't afford to wait longer. We have to act now."
President Obama said in his GMA interview that this speech should give a lot of clarity about what he thinks is the best way to move forward, which includes: that it shouldn’t increase the deficit, it should cover the uninsured, and it will have insurance reforms for people who do have health insurance have better protection.
