Friends,
This afternoon, President Obama will be making a major announcement: health care industry leaders are agreeing to take steps that could save the country $2 trillion over the next 10 years.
The coalition taking this action represents union members, insurance companies, doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, and they have agreed to reduce the annual health care spending growth rate by 1.5 percentage points for the next 10 years.
This is big news for our country and for families who are struggling with the high cost of health care. The steps these organizations have agreed to take, combined with comprehensive health care reform, could result in savings of roughly $2,500 for American families.
The President will be speaking today about this important step forward, and you can watch his remarks live at 12:30 PM EDT on www.HealthReform.gov. While you’re there, be sure to sign the statement of support for comprehensive reform and encourage your friends and colleagues to visit the site.
Today’s announcement is another big step toward comprehensive reform and with your help we will make reform a reality.
Sincerely,
Jenny Backus
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Obama has done more in his first four months than George B did in his last four years in office. He is proving he is a great leader, even with having to clean up George B. mess.
ReplyDeleteYou better start looking at what he is really doing. Pull your head out of your butt. He is not doing this country any favors.
ReplyDeleteReally why don't you state some actual facts, because you can't. Must be a Bush groupie. He is just cleaning up after Bush. I think its becoming more clear week by week, just how much damage Bush did, and the mess that is still left to clean up.
ReplyDeleteBush had his head up his butt his entire presidency. It is scary to think he was our leader.
ReplyDeleteI can state a lot of facts that you would just say are wrong. So get on your computer and start looking up the facts your self. See how much this pres. is going to cost you taxes. The goverment can't run any thing and you think he can change whats going on wrong.
ReplyDeleteI don't look as Obama costing us in taxes. I know its because of Bush. Its all part of cleaning up his mess.Considering what he has had left for him by Bush he is doing a great job.
