President Obama's key domestic policy objective is to reform the US system of healthcare. And the next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether he can deliver the fundamental reform that has eluded his predecessors.
"I am going to keep pressing until we get this done," President Obama told a town hall meeting in Virginia in early July as he went on the offensive.
The rising cost of health care for individuals, which has made it unaffordable for an increasing number of Americans, was a key issue in Mr Obama's election campaign and crucial to his victory.
Now a number of bills are already making their way through the US Congress, and the President would like to sign a comprehensive plan this year, despite intense opposition from Republicans and lobby groups.
