A year later, Obama says it’s time for health care vote

The World

Yesterday, President Obama made one last-ditch attempt to push for health care overhaul. After a year of debate, the president said it was time for the Senate to cast an “up or down vote” on the final version of the bill. Still, many Republicans ? and even some Democrats ? do not support the proposal. The push comes just a week after the president’s heath care summit at the White House, and after he said he would be open to four Republican ideas gleaned from that discussion.

Takeaway Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich explains the president’s argument, along with Dean Rosen, who was a health care advisor to former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.
