Washington (CNN) -- The push to overhaul health care received a major boost Thursday as the American Medical Association and AARP endorsed legislation drafted by top House Democrats.

The AARP, the nation's largest organization of older Americans, is a nonpartisan group that advocates for people 50 and older. The AMA, historically an opponent of health care reform, is considered one the nation's most influential doctors' advocacy groups.

"I want to thank both organizations again for their support, and I urge Congress to listen to AARP, listen to the AMA and pass this reform for hundreds of millions of Americans who will benefit from it," President Obama said at the White House.

I stand corrected from a previous comment I made on another thread a few days ago... there is a 42 page managers amendment to the 1990 page Health care bill...

They are technical changes and I will investigate as to what they are and report back later in the Comment section of this post.....

As promised the Bill was made Public on Tuesday leaving the 72 hour window for the bill to be read.........

I managed to read the complete 1990 pages in partial increments over 5 days so I am certain with all the help our elected officials have with people reading different sections and reporting it's content to those elected officials.. NOT ONE of them should be voting blindly as many thought they would be...

There is now NO excuse for not knowing what is in the Bill one way or another...perhaps parts of it's verbiage may befuddle the layman's mind BUT these people have access to contract lawyers and the like.......
