President Obama Addresses Health Care

WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Obama is urging Congress to pass health care reform.

In his weekly address, the President cited a recent report by the Council of Economic Advisors that says it will help strengthen small businesses in America.

This is an excerpt from his address:
"Under the reform plans in Congress, small businesses will be able to purchase health insurance through an "insurance exchange," a marketplace where they can compare the price, quality and services of a wide variety of plans, many of which will provide better coverage at lower costs than the plans they have now. They can then pick the one that works best for them and their employees."

The President went on to say small businesses that choose to insure their employees will also receive a tax credit to help them pay for it.
