Obama to Forge a Greater Role on Health Care

By Margaret Bassett

Listen up! It's your body! Healthcare insurance reform is this week's question. WSJ's Harwood interviews Senators Baucus and Grassley, both determined to have a bill soon--28 min. of video. Lots of talk about cutting waste, some idea that doctors will be looked at differently, but now I wonder what will happen to Medicare. Obama administration is making a push this week. And so should we!

Authors Bio:
Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.

Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
