(정치)오바마 국회연설
오바마 연설 이후…… Tonight, the president’s address helps him win support for health care reform, but there are still real concerns about how he’ll pay for it. I’m Katie Couric. Also tonight, September 11, 2009. Remembering those we’ve vowed never to forget. Panic on the Good evening, everyone. Well, he needed to do something to rescue health care reform. So the president took his case directly to the American people in a national television address before a joint session of congress. Did it work? The answer tonight is “Maybe.” A CBS News poll just out shows he did change some minds. 52% now approve of the way he’s handling health care. That’s a 12 point improvement from last week. And among those who say they watched the speech, support is even greater. 58%. But chief White House correspondent Chip Reid tells us the president still has a lot of work to do. The president bet the house on his prime time health care speech and in some areas, he’s cashing in according to the new CBS News poll. 42% say he has clearly explained his plan, up from 33% last week. And for those who watched the speech, it surged to 58%. The president still has a lot of explaining to do, though, on some specifics. One example? He spent a lot of time arguing that everyone will benefit from health reform, even those who already have insurance. ”What this plan will do is make the insurance you have, work better for you.” But he wasn’t very convincing. According to the poll, 22% of Americans believe reform will help them personally. Even among those who watched the speech, only 31% think it will help. 27% say it will hurt. 39% say it won’t have any effect. One of the president’s key points was that his plan will not increase the deficit over the next 10 years. “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits.” But 52% of Americans say it’s impossible to expand health care coverage without increasing the deficit. Only 42% say it is possible.
