President Barack Obama next week will announce the “path forward” for healthcare reform, his spokesman said Friday.
Gibbs refused to speculate on the substance of Obama's announcement except to say he expected it to come around the middle part of the week.
Gibbs on Friday followed the president and other Democrats in rejecting Republican calls to scrap the legislation and start over, pointing to insurance companies that are raising their rates while the debate continues.
“I think the American people aren't always all that interested in procedures inside the Senate,” Obama said in comments at the nationally televised summit with Democratic and GOP congressional leaders. “I do think that they want a vote on how we’re going to move this vote. And I think most Americans think a majority vote makes sense.”
In the end, Obama maintained, he and Democrats would act and leave it to voters to decide whether they had acted wisely. “That’s what elections are for,” he said.
In the now-immortal words of Sarah Palin..
"You betcha!"
