Democrats Kill 'Deem and Pass' - Obama makes final plea before vote

Below you will see President Obama speak on Capitol Hill today in his last attempt to get a 'yes' vote on his most important piece of legislation to date called Health Care Reform. The Democratic leaders have decided to abandon the idea as to bypass a direct vote on the Senate bill.  President Obama pleaded with Democrats to "Let's get this done."
President Obama believes strongly that the present health care system doesn't work for ordinary families, especially for the ones without work, or the ones with pre-existing illnesses. Obama mentioned to the Senators on Capitol Hill today, "If you agree that the system is not working for ordinary families, if you've heard the same stories that I've heard everywhere, all across the country, then help us fix the system."
As much as President Obama knows how much this vote can effect his ability to push future legislation forward, he says  "Don't do it for me. Don't do it for Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid," he said. "Do it for all those people out there who are struggling."
Obama's speech came just hours after Democratic leaders decided to abandon the controversial legislative mechanism know as "deem and pass" to avoid a direct vote on the health care legislation. They will now hold an up-or-down vote on the $875 billion reform plan that the Senate has already passed.
