奥巴马全力推动美国的医疗体系改革
奥巴马说：“这场改革与我本人无关，和政治无关。这是一场对损害美国家庭、损害美国的商业、破坏美国经济的医疗体系进行的改革。”The president has said he wants Congress to finish work on the legislation before its traditional long summer recess in August.
奥巴马总统表示，他希望国会在8月开始的传统夏季长假开始之前能够完成立法工作。
In a public television interview Monday evening on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Mr. Obama indicated the timing could slip. But he left no doubt that he wants to see a bill soon.
奥巴马总统星期一晚间在接受“吉姆.莱赫新闻时间”电视采访的时候指出，改革的时机稍纵即逝。他毫无疑问地表示，他希望不久能够看到一项医疗改革法案。
"If somebody comes to me and says it is basically done, it is going to spill over by a few days or a week, that is different," said President Obama.
奥巴马说：“如果有人到我这里说，法案基本上差不多了，再过几天或者一个星期就会最终完成。那当然意义不同。”
The president also made clear he is not surprised by all of the obstacles opponents have tried to throw in the way of health care reform. He said that if the reform process was easy, it would have been done decades ago.
奥巴马总统还明确表示，他对反对者在医疗改革过程中设置的所有障碍都不会感到惊讶。他说，如果改革进程轻而易举，那么医疗改革几十年前就已经会完成了。
