Obama may detail "his" health reform plans soon

In today's Washington Post, an article from the Associated Press commented on the likelihood that President Obama would more clearly detail his goals for what should be the "essential elements" in a healthcare reform bill. This new "hands-on" approach would signal a shift in strategy and would possibly occur before the September 15th deadline the White House gave to Senate negotiators to design a bi-partisan bill.

Many insiders feel that the President gave too much leeway to Congress. Many feel that the August recess has been more damaging to the President than helpful. General concensus is that while he will likely not offer new proposals, he will be more specific about his top priorites in a healthcare reform bill.
