Top Obama officials urged critics Sunday to withhold judgment on health care reform as the administration pushes to get a plan passed by next month.
"This is a work in progress," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on NBC.
"More will be done. The House and the Senate are committed to working with the President to get this done."
On CNN, White House budget director Peter Orszag accused lawmakers who oppose the reform package of attempting to run out the clock.
