Obama Healthcare

This afternoon, Obama made a speech at Arcadia University trying to gain support for his health plan.

The speech accused the insurance industry of putting profits before people.

"We need to give families and businesses more control over their own health care. And, that's why we need to pass health care reform."

Later this week, Obama will travel to St. Louis, in the swing state of Missouri, to continue pressing his case.

The Whitehouse says the president hopes to see his controversial health care reform bill approved by March 18th.
