President Obama and the White House are organizing an invitation-only Meeting on Health Care Reform today at 10:00 AM. The event will gather leaders and Congress members of both the Democratic and Republican parties. The White House announces it as a "Bipartisan Meeting":

We’re closer than ever to making reform a reality, and the next step in the process is an open bipartisan meeting to discuss additional Republican and Democratic ideas for making our health care system work better for the American people.

When: Thursday, February 25, 2010, 10:00AM EST
Where: The Blair House in Washington, DC
Watch: The meeting will be open to the press and streamed at WhiteHouse.gov/live

Not everyone is happy with the current plan for health care reform. The campaign Health Care Now says the "Obama plan leaves millions uninsured, while boosting private insurers" and is organizing a "Sidewalk Summit for Medicare for All!" outside the site of the White House organized meeting:

Let’s make President Obama hear us loud and clear that we want Medicare for All!

The event will be followed by lobby visits to drop information to each Congressional office about the single-payer, improved Medicare-for-All solution to the health care crisis. If you can join us to lobby after the Summit, please contact Katie at info@healthcare-now.org or 1-800-453-1305.

When: Thursday, February 25th, 2010 – 9am. Please RSVP.

Where: H St NW and Vermont Ave NW, Washington, DC – Map here – (closest subway stop is McPherson Square).

Who: Patients, Nurses, and Doctors who have the solution to the Health Care Crisis.

By the way, when I was preparing this post I run into the White House Youtube channel and I found this great video. First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed visitors to the presidential residence, on Wednesday January 20, 2010.

Yes, I watched the whole 47 min. video and it's very emotional and funny at parts, especially when people cry in disbelieve. I love Michelle -she greets every single person with so much energy- and I wish she were more active in her husband's administration. Michelle Obama deserves a better role at the White House according to her talent and knowledge.
