Obama Continues Bipartisan Efforts After Summit

Apologies for the lateness of this post. According to channelnewsasia.com, President Obama has suggested implementing four Republican ideas in the new health care plan. The ideas include:

1. A proposal by Republican Senator Tom Coburn (a doctor) meant to prevent insurance fraud.
2. Reimburse Medicaid doctors.
3. Additional funding towards malpractice reform.
4. Expansion of health care savings accounts that would allow people to save their own money for healthcare.

Although some Republican congressmen are skeptical, President Obama hopes that the inclusion of some Republican ideals will encourage politicians on both sides of the aisle to support the bill.
