美国总统电台演说 2009-06-13

　　These savings underscore the fact that securing quality, affordable health care for the American people is tied directly to insisting upon fiscal responsibility. And these savings are rooted in the same principle that must guide our broader approach to reform: we will fix what's broken, while building upon what works. If you like your plan and your doctor, you can keep them – the only changes that you'll see are lower costs and better health care.

　　For too long, we have stood by while our health care system has frayed at the seams. While there has been excuse after excuse to delay reform, the price of care has gone up for individuals, for business, and for the government. This time must be different. This is the moment when we must reform health care so that we can build a new foundation for our economy to grow; for our people to thrive; and for our country to pursue a responsible and sustainable path.

　　Thanks.

　　Prepared Remarks of President
