Healthcare battle 'isn't about me': Obama

President Barack Obama on Monday shot back at Republicans who have suggested they can win political ground by opposing his healthcare reform proposals.

"This isn't about me. This isn't about politics. This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses, and breaking America's economy," Obama said on a visit to a Washington hospital.

The president went on the offensive after opposition appeared to be rising among lawmakers unhappy with the massive healthcare reform plan proposed by his administration.

Last week, South Carolina Republican Senator Jim DeMint predicted the Obama plan would not pass Congress, and said such a failure could be Obama's "Waterloo," referring to the battle that effectively ended Napoleon Bonaparte's military career.

"It will break him," DeMint said,

Obama made direct reference to DeMint's predictions, and called on lawmakers to avoid the "politics of delay and defeat."

"There are some in this town who are content to perpetuate the status quo, are in fact fighting reform on behalf of powerful special interests," Obama said.

"There are others who recognize the problem, but believe -- or perhaps, hope -- that we can put off the hard work of insurance reform for another day, another year, another decade."

"There are too many lives and livelihoods at stake" for lawmakers to delay work on reforming the US healthcare system, Obama said.

Obama, who is battling to get lawmakers to pass healthcare reform legislation before they leave town at the end of July for their summer recess, made the comments at a children's hospital that offers care to parents who would not otherwise be able to afford it.

IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM. ALWAYS HAS BEEN. HE DOESN"T CARE ABOUT AMERICA. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU!
