President Obama on Saturday urged Congress to "rise above the politics of the moment" and adopt healthcare legislation, saying the effort has gathered momentum in recent days, with Republicans, including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Senate Majority leader Bill Frist, endorsing reform.
The Congressional Budge Office found the Senate Finance Committee's version of health care would make coverage affordable for millions now without it, "without adding a dime to our deficits," said Obama in his weekly radio address. Read more about bill's price tag.
When Schwarzenegger and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg earlier in the came out in support of health-insurance reform, they joined an "unprecedented consensus" that also includes Frist, a cardiac surgeon, and Bob Dole, like Frist a former GOP Senate majority leader, Obama said.
"These distinguished leaders understand that health-insurance reform isn't a Democratic issue or a Republican issue, but an American issue that demands a solution," the president said.
Written by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., the proposed legislation is expected by to pass the committee, which consists of 13 Democrats and 10 Republicans.
House and Senate negotiators would then need to come up with a single bill to send to Obama's desk for his signature.
Public opposition to the reform favored by Obama has dropped sharply in recent weeks, according to the latest poll by the Associated Press
"These distinguished leaders understand that health-insurance reform isn't a Democratic issue or a Republican issue, but an American issue that demands a solution," the president said.

Frist, Schwarzenegger and Dole and have proven the danger of that! Party before country will destroy this nation. Let the democrats be those useful idiots. I have not been a 'republican' since Dole's nomination and became one because the good leaders of the republican party stood up to Nixon and said "NO MORE".."GET OUT"...where are those men of principal now?
You never heard that from me. Constitution Party..
Ahnold and Dole are republicans like Hussein deserved the Nobel prize. And Bloomberg—the nations supreme gun-grabber! Another real conservative and American patriot.

I will never support this travesty.
Supporter!
Dole and Frist came out for the Democrat versions of this bill? I have not seen this. Are there links?
And then how many people died?
Then as now is the same the politician are looking for reelection to office.
I agree and Obama be wrong.
GGGGGGRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!
Market watch is owned by CBS.
Its a hard left wing operation.
Dont fall for the CBS BS!
Bill frist was misquoted last week by the Wash Compost and demanded a retraction.
But the state media keeps spreading the big LIE.
Bloomberg was a registered Dem before his Mayor’s race.
Bob Dole is a Lobbyist now !
It was a HUGE misuote by the Wash Compost and Dole is a lobbyist and did not come out and support it but did not shred it either!
Market Watch is a CBS run left wing operation !
The GOP Beltway pundits assume conservative anger at Obama’s policies will translate into automatic conservative support for the Republican. Thus enabling GOP candidates to devote more time to pander to independents.
2012 Campaign Message: Obama’s a socialist! Vote GOP!
How can we pass judgment without knowing what’s in the bill?
NO! We are broke and can not afford anymore soocial programs. What about the economy, how about working on that?
And this phony poll was deemed a SCAM when analyzed !
it was conducted by some German left wing non profit scam group.
Well, there is this article and it's all over radio news today.

If this bill passes, beginning 2013, millions of elderly will be getting LESS healthcare.
“How can we pass judgment without knowing what’s in the bill?”
Doesn’t seem to stop the rinos...like the dems, they don’t read bills, there is just enough to pad their pockets that they approve.
Bill frist has already stated that the Wash Compost twisted his response and he asked for a retraction !
Don't you get the Obama state media and DNC strategy here.
Keep telling the same Lies over and over. I have seen this same exact story published in twelve spots ( Ap, POlitico< NY Slimes, WSJ).
Market Watch is a CBS state media operation.
This week these Obama media drones cooked up a phony AP poll and misquoted GOP figures and tried to sell Bloomberg as a real republican.
Don't fall the state media propaganda.!!!!!!
It's time to turn around!
This same exact story word for word has been republised 25 times since the NY Slimes and Compost misquoted Frist.
This is the state media at its worst !
Frist is an owner in HCA hospitals.
This bill has killed his stock !
Besides the Bush policies on amnesty and uncontrolled spending, a major reason for Republican fall from power in 2006 was the lack of leadership by Frist and Hastert. Even with majorities, they were unable to keep control and advance conservative agendas. Frist let the Gang of 14 take control of the judicial nominations.
To hear these architects of the Republican collapse speak out in support of Obama is a joke. The only guy missing from this bunch of morons is McCain.
the federal government getting involved in healthcare is a wild stretch of article 1 section 8, they have no authority to impose this tyrranny upon us . They should ALL be removed from office by the US military . ......this is true ....but I am the nut ! !
Bears repeating!
This is the new meme or talking point. All the Dhimmis are doing it. Momentum is on their side. To them, up is down, in is out, sagging support means rising support. All the polls say the opposite. People must immediately destroy this argument and expose it as pure propaganda.
Bill Frist was on CNBC disputing the Post’s LIES. Remember people they are spewing propaganda morning, noon and night. They never rest. Neither can we.
AND WHY DON'T WE KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BILL? The left don't want us to know. That should be the first clue.
"rise above the politics" ??? When the left rise above the politics, maybe.
Has anything the leftist done worked? Name one.

Dole Blasts McConnell as Barrier to Health Reform
Much is being made this week of the Obama administration’s efforts to showcase those Republicans who’ve come out in vocal support of health care reform this year, including former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Add to that list former Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole (R-Kans.). The one-time presidential candidate blasted current Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) this week for his persistent attempts to kill the Democrats’ legislation. From The Star of Kansas City:
“I want this to pass,” he said. “I don’t agree with everything Obama is presenting, but we’ve got to do something.”
He added: “I don’t want the Republicans putting up a ‘no’ sign and saying, ‘we’re not open for business.’”
Dole singled out one “very prominent Republican, who happens to be the Republican leader of the Senate,” The Star reported.
Frist has not at all as he explained on Laura Ingraham early this past week.
what news sources the STAR and Wash independent ????
Bob Dole is a EMPLOYED lobbyist NOW and has not been in office for 10 years !
Who cares ???
“Bill frist has already stated that the Wash Compost twisted his response and he asked for a retraction !”
Fine, give us a link.
Here are Dole’s quotes:

I wasn't going to vote for McCain until he selected Governor Palin. I'm still pissed off at the way they treated her. If the republicans pull this crap again, they'll lose me forever, and yes, I realize that the next election could mean the end of the USA as we know it. To quote someone from Viet Nam, "maybe we need to burn the village down to save it."

What kind of reform and how much is it going to cost me personally? You never see them throwing around a number that estimates the cost to the tax payer.
when we take control of this party one of our first orders of business has to be a defined, clear process for kicking people out
this is the same scam the state media tried for Amnesty !!!!
fake polls , misquotes , New momentum angle, blah, blah, blah.
Don't fall for it !
Call the SOBs on Monday and Tuesday and stop this Obama death care NOW!
“What kind of reform and how much is it going to cost me personally? You never see them throwing around a number that estimates the cost to the tax payer.”
THAT is the last thing any of them want any of us to know.
Frist was taken out of context which he explained on his site which the media refuses to acknowledge. He even talks about how it is necessary to have tort reform so NO he does not support this bill.
Why are defending a propaganda Piece from the left wing Market watch (a CBS proppaganda outlet)?
its not a crediabke news source is neither are the other Obama state media outlets such as Politico ( which may be funded by Soros) , Time, NY Slimes , Compost....
They all printed this same exact story line for the last 6 days ! Its called the drip drip drip propaganda strategy.
Tell the same lie lone enough and people begin the believe it.
He was on CNBC stating he was misquoted this week !
The guy is part owner in HCA !
Why would he want a radical socialism ????
Don’t fall for the Obama propaganda !!
Blah, blah, blah..
I asked you to provide a link that shows FRIST was misquoted and denies this...WHERE is it? I can’t find it!
“when we take control of this party one of our first orders of business has to be a defined, clear process for kicking people out”
Heck, I’d be happy if the rinos would just follow the GOP party platform, which they don’t. One example, the platform says NO AMNESTY....it’s time for them and US to admit the party has been taken over by leftists.
I have no idea how to link to CNBC interviews .
You will have to do it yourself.
Ask someone else how to link up.
I usually ask my kids but everyone out playing ball today.

Sorry ,I don’t have a CNBC account.

Anyone who has signed on to this criminal act shall pay at the ballot box! I’m sick of talking and no ones listening!I will vote for the homeless man on the corner before I waste my vote on any of these criminally pathetic egotistical arrogant parasites. How do you support a bill that has not been written or if it has they refuse to read it themselves or post it so WE THE PEOPLE can read it. THEY WORK FOR US , WE GIVE THEM THAT PRIVELEGE AND WE WILL TAKE IT AWAY.
