Obama Pitches His Health Plan

President Obama, speaking in Glenside, Pennsylvania, made a plea for passage of healthcare reform. He spoke to voters and students as leaders continue to work on legislation they hope can pass congress.


Pitching The Plan

As congress keeps debating
Health care for the masses,
The president keeps calling
For a health bill congress passes.

Providers of insurance,
He says, make all the rules,
Based on who’s sick and healthy
Treating us like fools.

He called on those he spoke to
For help, if they’re so prone,
In building public backing
By picking up the phone.

Calling out to voters,
He had a lot to say;
Including wider coverage
Must finally have its day.
