And I look forward to working with the Senate and the House to finish the work that remains so that we can make this reform a reality for the American people.
The President, as I've said, has made his principles clear here on health care and thinks that we need to finish the workso that we can get health reform signed into law.
"A lot of families can't afford food and need food stamps and health care, even just child care so they can finish school or go to work, " said McGrath, who volunteers with children at her local Police Athletic League.
"If I were a member of Congress, I wouldn't want to go home and ask people to send me back to Washington so I could finish last year's work next year, " the president said.
Because they suck up a lot of resources even when they're not actively running, and that slows down your work--ironically making it harder to finish quickly so you can get to the fun stuff.
