As part of his effort to convince the American public there’s no time to delay in overhauling health care, President Obama travels to Ohio Thursday for a “town meeting” in Shaker Heights. He promises to extend health insurance coverage to 97% of Americans, improve the quality of care and rein in spiraling health costs without increasing the deficit.

Join us Thursday at 9:00 a.m for some answers from our journalists’ roundtable.Steven Koff, The Plain Dealer DC Bureau chief
