Yet another respectful town hall, where even the skeptics were polite. There was one man, Randy, who said he watches cable news because network TV gives him too much spin. It wasn't hard to figure out where he was coming from.
Obama says he doesn't want health reform to look like the Canadian system or the British system. He wants it to be a uniquely American system. Two-thirds of healthcare reform can be paid for by cutting costs out of the system, he said. They still need to come up with a way to pay for the other third but Obama reiterates, he's not going to do it by raising taxes on people who make $250K or less.
Tomorrow, Obama will hold another town hall in Colorado.
