Health Care Tops Obama's Domestic Agenda

After a hard-fought legislative battle, President Obama signs health care reform legislation on March 23, 2010, as Marcelas Owens, 11, looks on. "Marcelas lost his mom to an illness. And she didn't have insurance and couldn't afford the care that she needed. So in her memory he has told her story across America so that no other children have to go through what his family has experienced," Obama said. Members of the Trotter Group offer thoughts on the health care debate and the protests against Obama's domestic program that protesters denounced as big government.
