Healthcare Progress
President Obama meets with health care industry leaders at the White House to discuss reform.
President Obama announced yesterday a new level of collaboration in the fight to bring affordable health care to the U.S. Speaking before members of the media at the White House, the president shared his enthusiasm on the willingness of all parties to come together to address the mounting difficulties in creating a 21st century healthcare system.
Described by Obama as “a watershed event in the long and elusive quest for healthcare reform," the Obama administration announced the healthcare industry's commitment to cutting $2 trillion dollars over the next 10 years.
Millions of Americans have suffered at the hands of ineffective policies, been denied care due to pre-existing conditions, and left bewildered by the ever increasing challenges associated with receiving care after the loss of a job.
With all of the parties involved in trying to address these concerns, healthcare may actually get a real overhaul.
