Bipartisan meeting to discuss health-care legislation

 You are talking  -  But I can't hear you. ( I am not listening)

President Barack Obama hosts a bipartisan meeting to discuss health-care legislation at Blair House, across the street from the White House, on Thursday.

Its no wonder nothing gets done in Washington.  I watched the first three hours of the heath care Summit meeting.

It was a joke. Although for the most part it was respectful, and many points were made, the meeting did not go well. Not much was agreed upon.  Why?

Because the right and the left have fundamental differences concerning heath care reform.  The left wants the government calling most of the shots.  The right wants a limited plan involving government -  the less government involvement - the better.  The right wants a health care bill, but not this bill.

The left wants to control everything. How much coverage everyone will get.  The right wants to control costs.

Much of the bill and deals were crafted behind closed door.  Now the door is open and we are no further ahead.

What a hopeless mess.
