The president makes a statement

On Saturday a C-Span interview with President Barack Obama was aired where he came out and said that he was “absolutely committed” to a new healthcare plan. Amidst questions about his family life and contact with former President George Bush, Obama made it clear that now is the time for an overhaul of the healthcare industry. The Los Angeles Times article from the 24^th said he feels this way “because escalating costs had shifted the political climate”. We’re crossing our fingers that he’s right.
