Statement on the President's Speech to Congress - September 9, 2009

“The President set out his plan for health care reform in a clear way that should reassure many Americans who didn’t fully understand, or had doubts or questions about, our immediate goals. I was heartened by the President’s resolve to confront the lies being spread by those who oppose all efforts at reform. And I share his unequivocal commitment to finally ensure quality, affordable health care coverage for all Americans. In his words and his tone, President Obama reminded us why we elected him and what we can achieve when we work together toward a common goal.”
