Obama wants Senate health bill now!

Yeah, more people actually hear and see the details the less they like it. Move it thru before it gets killed in Committee.

Moving forcefully on his top domestic priority, President Barack Obama told a powerful Senate chairman on Monday he wants health care legislation ready in the Finance Committee by week's end, according to numerous Democratic officials. . These officials said Obama made his wishes known directly to Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., at a White House meeting attended by administration officials and senior Democratic lawmakers. It was not immediately clear whether Obama expressed a preference for a bipartisan measure—which Baucus has been laboring over for months—or a bill tailored more to Democratic specifications. Still, the virtual deadline underscored Obama's determination to push initial legislation through both houses of Congress before lawmakers leave the Capitol in August for a vacation. "Don't bet against us. We are going to make this thing happen," the president told reporters earlier in the day, fresh from an overseas trip that coincided with slippage in momentum for his top domestic priority. The officials who described the private meeting did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss private meetings. Scott Mulhauser, a spokesman for Baucus, said the senior Democrat "has stressed the Finance Committee will be ready when it has a mark (proposal) that can ensure quality, affordable care for every American, lower costs—and pass the Senate."
