At his address to Congress on Feb 24, 2009, President Obama declared: "So let there be no doubt: health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year."

Obama cited the frightening statistics: every 30 seconds, an American goes bankrupt due to medical costs. One and a half million Americans may lose their homes due to medical costs this year. Premiums have increased four times as quickly as wages. And, said Obama, lack of affordable, accessible health care "is one of the major reasons why small businesses close their doors and corporations ship jobs overseas. And its one of the largest and fastest-growing parts of our budget." Obama was clearly showing his listeners that he well understands the economic costs of our failed health care system.
