Impeding changes to our Health Care system

Unmentioned by Mr. Obama was that 20 other physician groups came out against his health-care takeover yesterday, which they wrote "will threaten patient access and harm quality." Led by the American College of Surgeons, these doctors argued the Senate's bill "will do little to fix" health care's "underlying problems, and may make them worse."

Right.

Those physician groups prefer the more comprehensive House bill over the Senate bill:

On behalf of the more than 74,000 members of the American College of Surgeons, I write to express the College's support for the....America's Affordable Health Choices Act (HR 3962)...

In addition, the College supports the goals of HR 3962 that collectively expand coverage, promote and incentivize high quality health care and help to ensure patient access to surgical care...

We look forward to working with you to advance these important pieces of legislation....

Sounds like what the wingnuts said about Medicare 30+ years ago up until it was enacted and millions of seniors had access to affordable health care for the first time.
