Diane Archer, health care policy expert at the Institute for America's Future, says that President Obama's address to a joint session of Congress Sept. 9 made a compelling case that the federal government can play a uniquely constrictive role in addressing the nation's health care problems. Archer points out that Obama forcefully defended a public health insurance option while addressing cost concerns raised by conservatives.
