EP-SLC, UT-President Obama today declared that a public health care emergency trumps political considerations when it comes to the implementation of the "public option."
"The 180 million Americans who currently have employer-based health insurance can keep their insurance! However, I am also very concerned about the 120 million Americans who do not have employer-based insurance, and especially the 50 million who have no insurance!"
"I am concerned about the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have been laid off in the last year, who have lost their health insurance."
