奥巴马敦促实行医改

Two days after the White House hosted an inconclusive summit on healthcare reform, President Barack Obama has urged Americans to find common ground.

两天前，奥巴马在白宫举行了一场关于医疗改革的高级会议，但是未达成任何决议，日前奥巴马敦促美国人寻找利益共同点。

President Obama said Americans could not afford to wait for reform

In his weekly radio address, Mr Obama said tens of millions of Americans could not afford to wait another generation for change.

He said it was time to move past the bickering（争吵，争论） and game-playing which was blocking progress on reform.

The White House said he would announce "the way forward" next week.

President Obama hosted a day-long televised healthcare summit in Washington on Thursday, which ended without a deal to break the deadlock（打破僵局） between parties.

'Time to act'

The president and his allies want to expand health coverage to include millions of uninsured Americans.

Republicans said his plans were not acceptable and called for a fresh start.

In his radio address, he said he remained "eager and willing to move forward with members of both parties".

"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to act.

"It's time for those of us in Washington to live up to（实践，做到） our responsibilities to the American people and future generations. So, let's get this done."
