I’m pleased that the third and final House committee working on health reform legislation has successfully passed a bill that would provide quality, affordable health insurance for all Americans. This historic step by the House Energy and Commerce Committee moves us closer to health insurance reform than we have ever been before.

This afternoon President Obama will visit the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. He will be accompanied by Governor Ted Strickland. At the clinic, President Obama will hold a brief discussion with doctors and nurses to not only learn about their innovative health care practices, but to also hear their thoughts on health reform and the current state of our nation’s health care system.
