President Obama is still determined to pass a major health care legislation, and on Monday the White House released the $3.8 trillion budget which “includes $150 billion in deficit reduction over 10 years on the presumption that a health care bill will be adopted,” says David M. Herszenhorn from The New York Times.

Herszenhorn says the “budget reflects multiple layers of optimism” by assuming that Democrats will find a way to pass a major health care legislation, even though Republicans are strongly opposed to it. Herszenhorn says, “Then, it presumes that the bill will truly reduce future deficits.” According to Herszenhorn, Representative Anthony Weiner, Democrat of New York, said, “Mr. Obama’s decision to include the health care savings in the budget showed “that he still believes health care reform will pass.””

Do you think a major health care legislation will ever pass?
