President Obama has signed into law the final installment of the healthcare reform bill approved last week. The package includes an overhaul of the college student loan program that ends federal subsidies to private lenders. Obama held the signing ceremony Tuesday at a community college in Virginia.

President Obama: “The health insurance reform bill I signed won’t fix every problem in our healthcare system in one fell swoop, but it does represent some of the toughest insurance reforms in history. It represents a major step forward toward giving Americans with insurance, and those without, a sense of security when it comes to their healthcare. It enshrines the principle that when you get sick, you’ve got a society there, a community that is going to help you get back on your feet.”
