Update: SEIU President Andy Stern issued a statement after President Obama's comments tonight from the White House on healthcare reform:

"Tonight, President Obama showed why workers across America put their faith in him last November - his commitment to changing the status quo and fixing our broken healthcare system...inaction is not an option.

"We stand with President Obama and those Senators and Representatives showing the political courage to do what is right and find solutions that deliver more for less and end the costly and immoral failure to provide quality, affordable care to every American. Unlike the last sixty years, political obstruction, misinformation and scare tactics from familiar voices plotting to kill reform will not stop health insurance reforms that will bring security and peace of mind to millions of Americans."

*************
For millions of Americans, real hope for changing the status quo of the 46 million Americans who don't have health insurance or can't afford the plan they have now is closer than ever. Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET, President Obama is holding a primetime news conference on health care. He's going to lay it all out there: where we are, where we're going, and why health insurance reform matters.

Watch it live:
After watching, declare your support for President Obama's healthcare plan.
