Obama Outlines Healthcare Priorities Ahead of Bipartisan Meeting
----------------------------------------------------------------



President Barack Obama is trying to revive his stalled healthcare reform
effort. On Monday the White House released an eleven-page document
outlining what the President would like to see in the heathcare bill,
including the expansion of coverage to millions of people who are
uninsured, while taking steps to control soaring healthcare costs. The
President’s plan does not include a “public option” for a government-run
plan. Obama will push the proposal at a bipartisan healthcare summit on
Thursday. The White House is now urging Republicans to publish their own
healthcare reform plan prior to the meeting.
