Obama to sign landmark health care reform bill
None
US President Barack Obama brings the curtain down on a year-long drama Tuesday when he signs into law a landmark health care reform bill that had been seen as dead just two months ago. Now, he must sell the bill's merits to a wary American public.
House and Senate Democrats who backed the bill as well as ordinary Americans whose health care struggles have touched Obama were expected to join him for the ceremony in the White House East Room. Afterward, Obama and much of that audience were heading to the Interior Department for an even larger celebration. (AP)
