President Obama Turns to Governors to Promote Health Care Reform
Monday June 29, 2009
President Obama is taking as many steps as he can to promote his plan for
health care reform. Just recently he turned to the nation's governors for support.
His recent meeting with a handful of governors, including republicans, is to get the governors involved in helping the democrats on Capital Hill to agree on Obama's health care legislation in which Democrats are still divided on what is the best way to approach the health care crisis.
A key point that Obama wanted the governors to know is to not use terms that will associate Obama's health care plan with the past failed Clinton health care plan.
