Two Sides Take Health Care Debate Outside Washington

President Obama speaking on health care reform in Bristol, Va. on Wednesday and Elkhart, Ind., partly to sell health care to the public.

Democrats are planning an offensive against the insurance industry, while Republicans are organizing efforts against legislation to overhaul health care.

The campaign will feature town-hall-style meetings by lawmakers and the president, including a swing through Western states by Mr. Obama, grass-roots lobbying efforts and an expensive television advertising campaign.

The campaign will explain that revamping the health care system will end unpopular insurance industry practices, like refusing patients with pre-existing conditions.

The industry trade group, America’s Health Insurance Plans, is urging members to confront Democrats at public meetings. The rising tensions could make it difficult for the president to keep insurers at the negotiating.
