Obama’s Day: Health costs, top cops and poetry
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama continues the theme of affordable health care today, a day after enlisting the help of the health industry in lowering future costs over 10 years.
The White House says the president will participate in a round table with business leaders to discuss cutting employer health care costs.
Obama will be joined by Vice President Joe Biden for a ceremony honoring the National Association of Police Organization’s Top Cops award winners. Attorney General Eric Holder will also attend.
In the evening, the president and first lady Michelle Obama will host an evening of poetry, music and the spoken word in the East Room in an event to be streamed live on the Internet.
