White House Messaging on Health Care Worth Repeating

President Obama's speech to the American Medical Association earlier this week was filled with clarity, reason and vision, as he made his case for a health care system overhaul and proposed ways to fund reform. Here's a particularly great messaging point from the President's speech that's worth repeating (often).

"So let me begin by saying this: I know that there are millions of Americans who are content with their health care coverage - they like their plan and they value their relationship with their doctor. And that means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what's broken and build on what works."
