President Barack Obama is taking his push to overhaul the nation's troubled healthcare system on the road.
He was back home in the windy city today, making his pitch to one of the most skeptical audiences, doctors.
Mr. Obama addressed more than 2000 doctors at the AMA's annual conference downtown, telling them reforming healthcare is the single most important thing that can be done to assure the nation's long-term fiscal health.
The president says his plan will cost a trillion dollars, but he says most of the money can be made up through cost savings, efficiencies and higher taxes on the wealthy.
The president largely received a warm audience from doctors, except when he told them he wouldn't support caps on costly malpractice cases.
That solicited boos from the crowd.
Should costly malpractice awards be capped?
Should there be a government healthcare plan?
