It would be nice to think that both sides could sit down together and negotiate, but there sure aren't many signs of that right now.
"President Obama unveiled today is just more of the same government-run insurance, mandates and taxes the American people have overwhelmingly rejected," said Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN).
"Republicans say they support health reform, but the only ideas they've put forward involve privatizing Medicare and Social Security or giving more power to the insurance and drug industries," countered Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH).
Both sides have their talking points, but it may be that health care compromise is a bridge too far.
Which means maybe the only way for something to get done is if Democrats go it alone.
And they may not have the votes for that either.
