Obama challenges critics of healthcare overhaul
Wall Street Journal, August 24, 2009

Obama appealed to Americans to summon "what's best in each of us to make life better for all of us," and support the plan, which Republicans in their response called a "government takeover" of the U.S. healthcare system.
