A White House official has provided new details about the president's health care announcement on Wednesday.

Tomorrow afternoon at the White House, the President will deliver remarks about moving forward into the final stage of the health insurance reform debate. He’ll reiterate why reform is so crucial and what it will mean for American families and businesses: they’ll have more control over their own health care, they’ll see lower costs , and they’ll see an end to insurance company abuses. He’ll note that his proposal includes the best ideas from both parties, and he’ll restate his preference for a comprehensive bill that will reduce premiums and end discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions. He’ll urge Congress to move swiftly toward votes on this legislation.

More on the event:

-- The President will speak at 1:45 pm in the East Room
