President Obama has said again and again that to fix our economy, we must fix health care, and we must do it in 2009. As small business owners, we know this is true. Small business is the engine of the economy and can lead the way out of the recession, but we can only do that if we fix health care.
And the budget President Obama has proposed does just that, making a $634 billion down payment on health care reform, a significant upfront investment that signals his historic commitment to quality, affordable health care for all.
If President Obama's budget doesn't pass with this investment in health care intact, it is unlikely we will see health care reform become a reality.
Can you call your Members of Congress and ask them to support President Obama's budget?
