PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — President Barack Obama is looking forward to making his case for health care reform Tuesday at Portsmouth High School in New Hampshire.
Melody Barnes, the president’s domestic policy adviser, says Obama will explain to Seacoast residents what’s at stake, and why it’s important to move forward now.
Barnes said even those who have insurance understand the problem because health care premiums have doubled in 15 years, causing deductibles and co-payments to go up.
Those who haven’t already registered have missed the boat. The deadline for registering online for up to two tickets was 3 p.m. Saturday. It’s unclear how many people will be invited to the town hall-style forum; Stone Gymnasium has a capacity of about 2,500 people.
