Input: President Obama will not go on his already delayed trip to Indonesia, Australia and Guam this weekend, preferring to stay in Washington to see health care through, the White House said today. 
  
 White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced that Obama will postpone the trip until June and that he phoned the leaders of those nations to express his regret but to say that the health care vote was too important to be out of town. 
  
 “The president is determined to see this battle through,” Gibbs said during the first ever press briefing held in the White House Rose Garden. 
  
 Gibbs cited the timing of the legislative process, and that the final health care bill is being posted online today, starting a 72-hour clock for public comment. That sets the vote at mid-day Sunday at the earliest, and the president had been set to leave Sunday early evening. 
  
 Obama has been having face-to-face discussions with individual wavering House Democrats to help leadership secure 216 votes needed to pass the plan. The White House and Democratic leadership haven’t said when the Senate would be expected to vote on the legislation to send it to Obama’s desk for a signature. 
  
 “This has been a long hard process,” Gibbs said. “The president believes that the House leadership wanting to talk to the full caucus and get a CBO score was the right thing to do.” 
  
 Last Friday the White House announced the trip would be delayed for the health care vote. 
  
 Reporters asked Gibbs why not just push the trip another day or so. The press secretary said the schedulers had already “pulled out what very little padding remained” and they determined it would not be fair for Obama to potentially have to cancel or delay a planned speech to the Australian parliament, among other events. 
  
 Gibbs said Australian and Indonesian leaders told administration aides they understand what Obama has been working toward with health care. 
  
 “It seemed obvious to us that the best course of business was to reschedule. We want to get this done,” Gibbs said.

 The proposal, a rewrite of a slightly narrower health-care bill the Senate passed on Christmas Eve, would also significantly expand the federal student loan program, offering President Obama the prospect of victory on two of his most important domestic initiatives after a year of legislative stalemate. The stakes are so high and the outcome so uncertain that Obama canceled a trip to Indonesia and Australia to continue lobbying undecided lawmakers with phone calls and invitations to White House meetings. 
  
 "Our international alliances are critical to America's security and economic progress," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. "But passage of health-insurance reform is of paramount importance, and the president is determined to see this battle through." 
  
 House Democratic leaders hope to approve the Senate bill along with a separate 153-page package of revisions to that bill that House members are demanding. The compromise would extend coverage to an additional 32 million Americans over the next decade by expanding Medicaid eligibility and creating state-run insurance exchanges and federal subsidies for lower-income families who lack access to employer-provided coverage. 
  
 All Americans would be required for the first time to obtain insurance or face an annual penalty of $695; employers could face penalties of $2,000 per worker for not offering affordable coverage. In exchange for the new business, private insurers would be subject to an array of rules, including a ban on the practice of denying coverage to people with preexisting medical conditions and a requirement that adult children be permitted to stay on their parents' policies until age 26. 
  
 Compared with the Senate bill, the compromise would offer more generous tax credits to people who may otherwise be unable to afford insurance and would fully close the "doughnut hole" -- a gap in the Medicare prescription drug program that is costly for many seniors -- beginning with a $250 rebate for those affected this year. 
  
 It would eliminate the most politically contentious of several deals cut to win the votes of recalcitrant lawmakers by extending to all states a promise of Medicaid funding that had originally been offered only to Nebraska. And it would delay until 2018 the implementation of a 40 percent tax on high-cost insurance policies. 
  
 To cover the cost of those changes, the compromise would impose a 3.8 percent Medicare tax on investment income for wealthy taxpayers, a levy that would come in addition to a Senate-proposed increase in the regular payroll tax for those families. And it would slice an additional $60 billion from Medicare, with the privately run program known as Medicare Advantage targeted for particularly deep cuts, bringing the total reduction in projected spending on the program to more than $500 billion over the next decade. 
  
 Republicans remained unified in their opposition to the legislation, vowing to block a bill they condemn as a dangerous and budget-busting intrusion into the private health-care system. As House Republicans angled to prevent passage in the anticipated Sunday vote, Senate Republicans laid procedural traps for the package of revisions. If it survives, that measure would go to the Senate for approval next week under special rules that protect it from a GOP filibuster. 
  
 "The American people are saying 'Stop!' and they're screaming at the top of their lungs," said House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (Ohio). Republicans will "do everything that we can do to make sure that this bill never, ever, ever passes." 
  
 If Democrats prevail in the House, Obama is expected to sign the Senate version of the legislation soon after Sunday's vote, enacting the most far-reaching expansion of the nation's health-care system since Medicare was created in 1965 even if the Senate cannot pass the revision package the following week. While the major pieces of the coverage expansion would not be implemented until 2014, consumers would quickly see a variety of benefits, including a ban on insurance industry practices such as dropping people from coverage when they get sick or limiting lifetime benefits. Private insurers would also be required to fully cover preventive care without deductibles or co-payments. 
  
 House Democrats defended the new package, which received a major boost Thursday when the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that it would reduce deficits by about $138 billion over the next 10 years and by about $1.2 trillion in the decade thereafter. Republicans quickly noted that those numbers represent a tiny fraction of the huge deficits projected for that period. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was jubilant, calling the bill "a triumph for the American people in terms of deficit-reduction." |||||

President Obama is postponing his already delayed overseas trip as the health care push nears crunch time. The president wants to be in town for an expected vote this weekend, probably Sunday. He phoned the leaders of Indonesia, Australia, and Guam to let them know the trip's been pushed back to June, says Robert Gibbs. "The president is determined to see this battle through," said the White House press chief. Now that preliminary CBO figures are out—the cost is pegged at $940 billion over the next decade, reports the Washington Post—the health care bill will be posted online later today. A 72-hour period for public comment would set up a vote by mid-day Sunday at the earliest, notes Talking Points Memo.
