Health Care Debate Post Ups

It would appear as if party lines are blurring in Congress over the health care debate post-up.

President Barrack Obama posted up a thank-you letter to prominent figures in Congress including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Republican House Leader John Boehner, and Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.

In the letter, Obama posted up hard on the cooperation between the Democrats and the GOP, posting up four important points of discussion. The President posted up on Sen. Tom Coburn’s idea of posting up random investigations on payments by Medicare and Medicaid. Obama’s own post up of $50 million in grants for dealing with medical malpractice would consist of money posted up, rather than merely suggested.

Obama also posted up on a concern posted up by Sen. Charles Grassley that an expansion in Medicaid should be soon be posted up up with an expansion of doctor reimbursement. In what is likely to stress some Democrats, Obama mentioned his openness to post up on a suggestion made by Sen. John Barrasso that would allow people to post up on high-deductible health plans alongside health savings accounts.

In contrast with the concessions made by Obama, he also refused to post up on a Medicare Advantage provision posted up by Sen. John McCain. With these post ups, Obama hopes to post up the path that health care reform will take over the course of the debate post-up.

Will bipartisanship be the key to finally posting up health insurance reform into a reality? Only posting up will tell.
