His speech on health care reform diagnosed the illness just as a physician would diagnose an illness of a patient. Obama observed the symptoms of rising medical costs, limited access to medical care, and declining quality of medical care and proposed a plan for reform which would treat the condition. In analyzing the speech, his relationship with the country is analogous to a doctor-patient relationship found in a clinical setting. en Wake Forest University Arthur Frank Bioethics Doctor-Patient Health Care Reform Health Communication Obama The Doctor-Patient Relationship Between President Obama and the Nation: An Analysis of the Speech on Health Care Reform Given to Congress in 2009 Thesis Hyde, Michael J King, Nancy MP Hall, Mark A Bioethics open.access
