If the President were an effective political leader I'd say it's time for the arm twisting to begin. As he's not, then it's just a friendly lunch like he had with Gates and Crowley. Don't forget to invite Joe.

I wish he would do more to work with conservatives. He just keeps dividing America. He is pulling this great country apart.

Hold them accountable to the people who supported democrats in the election. American People need healthcare reform, not more Republicans.

the blind leading the really blind (& clueless). Wish I could be opptimistic about our Government doing ANYTHING that will benefit the public, but how can anyone rightfully believe that either party will do anything worthwhile. Really feel sorry for anyone under the age of 30 as our Government over the past 20 years has ruined your prospects for a good life – get ready to pay 50% of EVERYONES income in taxes

Wish we could see some of this on C-Span . . . transparency, as was promised during his campaign. Would also like to see, if not more, President Obama, et al meetings with health care professionals, such as physicians.

clinton was an idiot to step into this mine field then, and an even bigger idiot to support it again. the countries with government run health care have all ended up with sub-standard system.
