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.

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.
