Weekly Address: Time for Action on Financial Reform for the Economy

Weekly Address: Time for Action on Financial Reform for the Economy As a key committee in the Senate takes up reforming the ways of Wall Street, the President lays down a marker: I urge those in the Senate who support these reforms to remain strong, to resist the pressure from those who would preserve the status quo, to stand up for their constituents and our country. And I promise to use every tool at my disposal to see these reforms enacted: to ensure that the bill I sign into law reflects not the special interests of Wall Street, but the best interests of the American people.

President Obama Signs Health Care Bill

President Obama Signs Health Care Bill – A jubilant President Obama signed the health care bill into law today, calling its historic expansion of insurance coverage “reforms that generations of Americans have fought for and marched for and hungered to see.” The law expands health insurance coverage for 32 million Americans, in part by preventing insurance companies from denying coverage to people who are sick or have pre-existing conditions. The new law provides subsidies for some Americans to purchase insurance. During his address to members of Congress before signing the bill, Obama made no mention of the executive order, abortion, or the arrangement he made with Stupak and other Democrats who had been waiting until the last-minute to determine their stance on the bill. The bill requires that at least one health care plan be promoted across the country that pays for abortions, more abortion funding would come via the affordability credits, and many of the so-called limits on abortion funding in the Senate bill are temporary and could expire or be overturned at a later date. Obama expressed confidence in the bill, saying “the overheated rhetoric” of the health care debate will be overtaken by “the reality of reform.” He added that the changes in the law must be put in place carefully.
