Obama and Pelosi have a new bill coming out
President Obama will soon propose a health care bill that will be "much smaller"than the House bill but "big enough"to put the country on a "path"toward health care reform,House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday.
"In a matter of days,we will have a proposal,"Pelosi said,pointing to Obama’s forthcoming bill.
"It will be a much smaller proposal than we had in the House bill because that’s where we can gain consensus. But it will be big enough to put us on a path of affordable,quality health care for all Americans that holds insurance companies accountable."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama’s proposal likely will be introduced on Wednesday and will address both process and substance.
Gibbs said while he agrees for the most part with Pelosi that the plan will be well developed,it is unlikely to be written in legislative legalese. But he said the plan will have "a decent amount of overlap"with the proposals on the White House Web site now.
