WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Thursday urged Congress to pass a health-care reform bill, and welcomed the endorsement of the AARP and the American Medical Association of the House's overhaul bill. "We are closer to passing this reform than ever before," Obama said in a surprise appearance at the daily White House briefing. House lawmakers may vote Saturday on the bill, which aims to cover millions of Americans and create a government-run insurance plan option.
