US President Barack Obama said, its time to stop talking over healthcare reform and start voting for it, and also asked the Congress to vote for the reform.

Obama visited America’s heartland to gather suport from the wavering Democrats for the healthcare legislation. The campaign was a part of the final push in passing the healthcare reform. While Obama was heading to the speech venue, protestors lined the streets waving placards that said, “Healthcare for all,” “Kill the bill,” “Republicans for healthcare reform” and “Say no to socialism.”

In the run to collect support for the healthcare reform bill, Obama and his fellow Democrats accused the heathcare insurance industry for giving importance to profit than to patients.

Obama swore to destroy the waste in the government-run medical programs for the elderly and needy, Medicare and Medicaid.

Obama also accused his critics in scaring the public, saying that the healthcare reform bill would result in reduced access to care elderly people who completely rely on the Medicare.
