"Marathon" Health Care Negotiations

Capitol Hill's newspaper Roll Call reports that the President spent yesterday huddled in the White House with Congressional leaders trying to reach some kind of deal.  Speaker Pelosi came out of the eight-hour meetings saying that there had been "significant progress", but time will tell on that.

And while the high-level negotiators continue to worry mostly about differences in how the bill will be financed, the Stupak amendment and abortion issues continue to be major issues of contention.
