Jeff Mason and Matt Spetalnick, Reuters: "US President Barack Obama, pushing for healthcare reform during a trip to the West, said on Friday the country was 'held hostage' by insurance companies that deny coverage to sick people. Obama, on a multi-state swing to tamp down vociferous opposition to his top domestic priority, targeted insurance companies for dropping customers who become sick or forcing patients to cover huge costs. 'We are held hostage at any given moment by health insurance companies that deny coverage or drop coverage or charge fees that people can't afford,' Obama told a crowd of some 1,000 people in Montana."
