Cabinet members tout health care plans in Reserve


Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius with President Barack Obama
As The Associated Press reports, four members of President Barack Obama's cabinet visited Louisiana to tout plans to improve health care in rural areas.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the administration's plan would extend health coverage to millions of uninsured Americans without a "one size fits all" approach, according to the report.
As CNN reports, Obama accused Republican critics of putting politics ahead of policy.
According to The Times-Picayune's Sandra Barbier, it was standing-room-only at the new Army National Guard Readiness Center in Reserve where the members answered questions and listened to concerns about health care, farmers and other rural American issues.
