It seems that the GOP can start to throw their weight around again. Gridlock is what makes Washington do its own thing while Americans can go about their business1.
Just as important, scrapping the House and Senate health care bills would help end the uncertainty they are creating for workers and businesses and thus strengthen our shared commitment to focusing on creating jobs. Assuming the President is sincere about moving forward on health care in a bipartisan way, does that mean he will agree to start over so that we can develop a bill that is truly worthy of the support and confidence of the American people? Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said today that the President is “absolutely not” resetting the legislative process for health care.
If they start over and craft an actual bipartisan bill that puts some GOP parts in like capping lawsuits while keeping in Dem things like a National Health Care exchange would be a good step forward. If it is more Obama "bipartisanship" that amounts to I'll listen to your ideas and then do my own thing then forget it.
