Health Insurance Reform: Getting It DoneAugust 4, 2009 —Senate Democrats met today with President Obama at the White House to discuss health insurance reform. Reform will assure stability and security in health care for middle class families. Democrats are committed to reducing the cost of health care for families, businesses, and government while protecting choice and assuring affordable, quality health care for all Americans. "Both the president and the Senate have said from the start that we are committed to getting health insurance reform done this year and we will," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "We are closer to real health insurance reform than ever before and while it's easy to focus on the areas where we still need to find agreement, it's important to be mindful of the common ground already shared by all parties involved."
