Obama delays Asia trip to push health care bill
Category Insurance | Saturday, March 13th, 2010
President Obama agreed Friday to postpone a high-profile trip to Asia, signaling his commitment to swift action on his signature health care bill as Democrats in Congress prepared for action next week and expanded the bill’s scope to include a popular student aid initiative.
The president’s change of travel plans, which will move his departure overseas from March 18 to March 21, will enable him to remain active in pushing uneasy Democrats toward final approval of his signature domestic policy initiative.
