THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP

By Charlie Sykes

The Obama Administration in a nutshell: Emotion, few details, in Obama's health care pitch

 

The health care changes that Obama called for Wednesday would reshape the nation's medical landscape. He says he wants to cover nearly 50 million uninsured Americans, to persuade doctors to stress quality over quantity of care, to squeeze billions of dollars from spending.
