In regard to the health care “reform” measure in 2009, President Barack Obama assured the nation that the 1000-plus page measure was vital –vital– to ensure that all Americans were finally covered by health insurance. In praising its passage in the House, Obama said the measure “will begin the process of fixing what’s broken about our health care system, reducing costs for all, building on what works, and covering an estimated 97 percent of all Americans.”
