The president will outline his specific ideas days before the televised congressional talks planned next week. It marks a change in tack from his approach to let congressional leaders take the lead.
"President Obama, after sustaining months of criticism for not being clear about what he wanted in healthcare legislation, will post specific proposals for a comprehensive plan on the Internet by Monday, according to the White House.
"The posting would come three days before a televised meeting that Obama plans to convene with congressional Democratic and Republican leaders in hopes of restarting his stalled bid to overhaul the nation's healthcare system."
They didn't need to compromise on anything with anyone.
I wouldn't say ALL Democrats wanted single-payer.
My own Democratic Senator talks about how she doesn't want single-payer.
I fully expect her to get voted out in November.
(One of my senators is Blanche Lincoln by the way...)
I see you are even farther behind the news than thought.
Nothing more than a ploy - the democrats are working on a reconciliation bill at this very moment, to be sprung right after the meeting.

So, as we suspected, this is nothing more than a disingenuous, phony circus show from obama.
They will already have a bill ready to go - they are not looking for GOP ideas, or support.
