Faced with falling ratings and a stalled health care plan, President Barack Obama (web | news | bio) is considering giving a speech next week in which he will be more specific about his proposed health care overhaul. The president has been on the tail-end of many accusations claiming he has been to vague about his health care proposal.

According to Politico, the president's speech will be a detailed strategy and a compromise backing away from the public insurance option.

This comes after weeks of speculation the President Obama would drop government-run insurance once the public complained about his proposal. But analyst say that if he is does, he could risk isolating those in the liberal base who say there is no other option.

Despite the president's efforts to clarify what he feels Congress should include in bill, the health care debate remains a very heated subject.

On Tuesday night, about 1,500 people vented their anger and frustration over the proposed reform plan to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer at a health care town hall meeting in Waldorf, Md.

Some were escorted out by police while others, clearly fed up, walked out on their own. "My whole family does not believe... Out of our business," said ...

"Prescription drugs have gone up 300 percent. That money that I've spent on health insurance I could've put my two kids through college," said Jeff Guido, a health care reform supporter.

Congressman Hoyer did his best to subdue the crowd and promote the highly debated reform. "I know a lot of you are angry because you think somehow members of Congress or the president or somebody else wants to take over your health care. They don't," he said.

There will be at least five local town hall meetings in Centreville, Va., Fairfax, Va., Rockville, Md., and a telephone town hall meeting with Congressman Chris Van Hollen on Wednesday.
