Democrats want it. Gop does not. Wonder why?

"*** The Great American Health-Care Fight: Here's a look at all the moving parts on health care:
Obama meets at the White House with conservative Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson (at 11:30 am) and moderate GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe (11:45 am ) to discuss the issue.
Families USA and PhRMA say they have hired the actors who played Harry and Louise in that iconic '90s TV ad against health-care reform to appear in a multimillion ad campaign SUPPORTING reform this time.
In his remarks from the Rose Garden yesterday, Obama said that the White House would be focusing on health care until Congress' August recess. 'We're going to be continually talking about this for the next two or three weeks, until we've got a bill [out of] the Senate.'.

And with the Senate HELP bill passing the committee yesterday by a party-line vote, Republicans are complaining that the Democratic push for health-care reform isn't bipartisan.
