Hello, Portsmouth! Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you so much. Everybody have a seat. Oh, thank you...

I love you back. Thank you. (Laughter.) It is great to be back in Portsmouth. (Applause.) It's great...

Two of my favorite people, they are just taking Congress by storm, outstanding work -- Paul Hodes,...

I believe it is wrong. It is bankrupting families and businesses, and that's why we are going to pass...

That's why we acted as fast as we could to pass a Recovery Act that would stop the freefall. And I...

Now, the last third of the Recovery Act is for investments that are already putting people back to...

But, New Hampshire, that doesn't mean we're out of the woods, and you know that. It doesn't mean we...

Now, health insurance reform is one of those pillars that we need to build up that new foundation....

Now, let me just start by setting the record straight on a few things I've been hearing out here --...

Now, we just heard from Lori about how she can't find an insurance company that will cover her because...

And I've heard from so many Americans who have the same worries. One woman testified that an insurance...

Under the reform we're proposing, insurance companies will be prohibited from denying coverage because...

And finally -- this is important -- we will require insurance companies to cover routine checkups...

Now, before I start taking questions, let me just say there's been a long and vigorous debate about...

So this is an important and complicated issue that deserves serious debate. And we have months to...

But let's face it, now is the hard part -- because the history is clear -- every time we come close...

Our deficit will continue to grow because Medicare and Medicaid are on an unsustainable path. Medicare...

That's what we need to do right now. And I need your help. If you want a health care system that works...

Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!

Everybody have a seat. All right, this is the fun part. (Laughter.) Now, first of all, by the way,...

All right, so we're just going to go around the room and I'm going to start with this gentleman right...

Well, let me make a couple of points. First of all, you make a point about Medicare that's very important....

September 3rd, okay. What's your name?

Nice to meet you, Julia. (Applause.)

Well, the -- I've seen some of those signs. (Laughter.) Let me just be specific about some things...

Well, I think that's a legitimate point. I don't know all the details, but it sounds to me like they...

Well -- right. Look, there may be -- in nine out of 10 cases, the generic might work as well or better...

Well, first of all, another myth that we've been hearing about is this notion that somehow we're going...

We're happy to have you. We're happy to have you. (Applause.)

Well, I think it's an excellent question, so I appreciate the chance to respond. First of all, I want...

Well, congratulations.

What do you teach?

Excellent.

Sure.

Well, you raise the -- (applause) -- you know, mental health has always been undervalued in the health...

How are you, Justin?

They've already got enough problems paying your college tuition. (Laughter.)

I hear you.

Right, it's a great question. First of all, I said I won't sign a bill that adds to the deficit or...

It will probably -- I just want to be honest here. There are about 46 million people who are uninsured....

No, no, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't over-selling my plan here.

She's okay --

I just said that.

Of course. Well, first of all, I already mentioned that we would be taking savings out of Medicare...

And nurse practitioners, too. (Applause.) And nurses, you've got a whole other issue which you already...

Good.

Before you ask this question, just because you referred to it, can I just say this is another example...

And I just want to be clear that all we're trying to do is answer questions.

All right, go ahead.

Well, look, first of all, if we don't have health care reform, the gap between what Congress gets...
