Obama pushes health reform
US President Barack Obama has continued promoting his massive overhaul of America’s health system in the Midwest, saying people needed it and must overcome resistance from opponents in Washington.
Mr Obama is increasingly pitching his remarks directly to voters, hoping they will pressure reluctant politicians.
The US is the only major industrialised nation that lacks a comprehensive healthcare plan and about 50 million of America’s 300 million people are without health insurance.
