After returning from Capitol Hill, President Obama made a final, pre-vote plea for his health care plan in a Rose Garden appearance, urging lawmakers to pass what he called a "landmark" health reform bill.
"What we can do is choose a better future and pass a bill that brings us to the very cusp of building what so many generations of Americans have sought to build -- a better health care system for this country," he said.
