Obama tries to take back health care debate

On Saturday September 12th, President Obama spoke at the Target Center in Minnesota to outreach about his health care debate. While he was away from the White House, many people protested in Washington, D.C. arguing that Obama was a liar. Obama urged the people through his speech on Saturday that his main obligation is to work with the republicans to find a proposal to our health care dillema. Obama also stated that he is always open to new ideas but is not going to waste his time with ideas that bring the proposal down.

Republicans tend to disagree with that statement though. Many issues have came up about Obama being paid lip service to agree with the Republican ideas and in the end, Obama ended up rejecting them. People argue that Obama is not trying to bring the two parties together. I believe that we need a new health care reform and that we need to focus the two parties together as one, taking issues and ideas from both sides. I think the freedom to choose between physician and patient is a key issue as well as the private company versus goverment spending. I feel as if Obama's plan has become a free ride for a majority of people and many people with jobs have been losing them in return.
