In a speech at a health-care rally in Minneapolis, President Obama said, again:
But know this: I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan than improve it. I will not stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are. If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out. And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.
We are closer to reform than we have ever been. But this is the hard part. This is when the special interests and the insurance companies and the folks who want to kill reform fight back with everything they’ve got. This is when they spread all kinds of rumors to scare and intimidate the American people. This is what they always do.
According to Mark Knoller on Twitter, he wrapped up with: “Obama ends his 40 min health care speech declaring ‘they can’t stop us – let’s go get this done.’”
