After a tough August, when health reform was under attack, President Obama will try tonight to convince lawmakers and Americans at large that health reform is necessary. We checked in with the director of Consumers Union's health reform campaign, DeAnn Friedholm, to see what she's looking for tonight:

"A lot of people are terribly confused at this point. The President needs to explain clearly how his plan will provide better health care, not just for people without insurance, but for those who have coverage and are still paying too much. He needs to re-energize the fight to help provide people with high quality, affordable health care that they know will be there, even if they lose their jobs or get really sick. Every day we delay health reform, more consumers go bankrupt, more people die needlessly, and the nation’s long-term economic situation worsens."
