President Barack Obama heads to Iowa– his first stop after signing the healthcare reform bill earlier in the week. Obama will make a speech at the University of Iowa Field House, located in Iowa City. It’s the same place where he first announced his healthcare plans as a candidate in May of 2007. “I’m sure there will be parents of those that attend the University of Iowa that will have some interest in keeping their children on a health insurance policy through the age of 26,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday, according to Reuters. Some highlights of the bill include:

• Insurance for 32 million Americans who are without.
• Ban on insurance companies’ ability to refuse coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions.
• More health insurance for the poor.
• New taxes on the wealthy.

“The president believes it is important to continue to talk about the many aspects of the law that will do precisely what he said they’re intended to do,” said Gibbs, according to Reuters. According to a new poll released by Quinnipiac University, before the House of Representatives passed the bill, 54 percent of Americans didn’t agree with it, while 36 percent supported it. After the vote, 49 percent disapproved. But those surveyed said they trust Obama more than Republicans in Congress to manage healthcare. Forty-five percent supported Obama, while 35 percent supported Republicans.

Republicans unanimously voted against the bill and are trying to repeal it. Officials from 14 states have filed federal suits saying the law violates the US Constitution. But some groups who support Obama are planning to spend $5 million on TV and radio ads thanking him, and targeting Republicans.
