[0:00]" A closer American news -- health care reform President Obama would address a joint session of congress and the nation tonight at 8 o'clock. WBZ will carry the president live tonight's address is said to include specifics long sought in the debate to date. We gain insight from ABC news senior political correspondent Sam Donaldson. "
[0:22]" specific will be one of retreat. In other words he'll say he won't use these words but like -- general. He understands he's not gonna get the public option to Wally you'll make a pitch for it you say but if if you have something better and put on the table. And vice city you you must do this unless of course you have something better what to do that do this well -- he wants to sign a bill. And I think in the end the Democrats will pass something that looked like health care reform so we can do that."
[0:50]" To the main challenges against health care reform him in number one cost and number two. All the healthcare options are out of your hands you mud gets some you know crazy doctor you know from the backwards or government you know. Sanctioned facilities somewhere in this and -- You think he's gonna make a case against that by setting that fifty million Americans have no health insurance. "
[1:16]" Well he could make the case and we need to cover almost everyone that's true but I along. The plan and there weren't -- three in the house is already one of the Senate and Max Baucus the finance chairman has come up with another set of ideas. All the plans -- you -- keep your doctor if you want to keep your doctor. This -- some value be forced to give up your doctor and take some announces that that you don't like Hughes is just the opposition later tried to borrow the waters. So easily able to say that tonight. But he how to pay for this video that could be interesting that he'd be specific. As to how he wants to pay for evidence so far."
[1:53]" Yeah there was -- next question how -- in the Kathmandu is cost."
[1:57]" Well I think again the baucus plan which suggests no we're not gonna. Make individuals pay for it would make the insurance companies the big healthcare provider will get it out of there hide. He's probably what congress shall come down to. Now yes in the baucus plan has the idea that you must have health insurance through your employer. By it. And if you low income of course -- government subsidies to help but -- you have the ability to buy it and don't even have to have a penalty up to 3800 dollars. The -- that might be cheaper than buying health care insurance assembly."
[2:28]" Time for him as you see -- for -- Final draft of legislation and vote before parents."
[2:35]" I think we'll have a vote this year I think than the Democrats who control both houses will make certain that they don't leave this president of their party with -- on his face. As -- left I'm Bill Clinton's place in 1993. And you'll recall what happened in 1994. That Gingrich -- they're ready to go. So I think they'll pass something that he can call a success."
