The Washington Post reports: "President Obama will address a joint session of Congress next Wednesday about the nation's health-care system, Democratic officials said Wednesday.
"Under pressure to seize the initiative on the biggest legislative proposal of his young administration, Obama is expected to add more detail to his vision for health-care reform when he speaks to lawmakers upon their return from an August recess." A policy expert told The Post it is "less likely" the President will release a detailed proposal, but he will likely "comment more specifically" on ideas that have already been advanced (Kornblut, 9/2).
