Independent Health's Michael Cropp Previews Health Care Address

By Mark Scott

Buffalo, NY – President Obama delivers his much anticipated speech on health care reform to a joint session of Congress Wednesday night. Live coverage on WBFO begins at 8:00.

Independent Health CEO, Dr. Michael Cropp, says he hopes the President will address ways of improving the quality of health care while managing costs. Cropp argues that needs to happen if the system is going to accommodate people who are currently not insured.

Even though Democrats and Republicans in Washington seem to be far apart on the issue, Cropp says he still believes a consensus is possible.
