Health
Reform and America’s Businesses: The Bottom Line Throughout the course of the health reform
debate, amongst the President’s top concerns has been how
the sky-rocketing costs of health care affect America’s
businesses and the economy. The final health reform legislation
is a reflection of that, and will help contain the costs that
threatened to swallow up the budgets of businesses across the
country. That is why the independent Congressional Budget Office
confirmed that the bill would lower health insurance premiums
and why the Business Roundtable estimated that provisions to
help bend the health care cost curve like those in the bill could
save $3,000 per person in health costs. |

An
Unprecedented Level of Obstruction Faced with an unprecedented level of obstruction
in the Senate, the President announced his intention to recess
appoint fifteen nominees to fill critical administration posts.
While the President respects the critical role the Senate plays
in the appointment process, he was no longer willing to let another
month go by with key economic positions unfilled, especially
at a time when our country is recovering from the worst economic
crisis since the Great Depression. |

State Toughens Cell Phone and Texting Ban U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today commended Governor Christine Gregoire for signing a law that makes talking or texting on a cell-phone without a hands-free device a primary offense.
