Washington:
With spiraling health care costs a cause of concern in America, US President Barack Obama today pushed for an affordable health care arguing that he would not like his countrymen to travel to countries like India and Mexico for cheaper treatment.
"My preference would be that you don't have to travel to Mexico or India to get cheap health care. I'd like you to be able to get it right here in the United States of America that's high quality," Obama said amidst applause at a community college in Virginia.
Obama was responding to a question from the audience on increasing health care costs in the United States.
"Before we went on the path of you can go somewhere else to get your health care, let's work to see if we can reduce the costs of health care here in the United States of America.
