First Lady Joins Health Care Fight

First Lady Michelle Obama threw her hat into the health care reform debate Friday, calling the current state of health care "unacceptable" and describing the President's reform proposal as "reasonable."

"No longer can we sit by and watch the debate take on a life of it own," the First Lady said during an event put on by the White House Council on Women and Girls in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. "We have to channel our passions into change."

Obama was joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

The First Lady recounted her daughter Sasha's struggle with meningitis as an infant, explaining that while she was thankful her family had adequate coverage, she could not help but wonder what would have happened had they not.
