President Obama Moves Forward on Health Care, Invites Republicans to the White House for Televised Meeting

President Obama signaled Sunday he is not ready to let the issue of health care reform go away, planning a meeting at the White House with both Democrats and Republicans later this month to discuss the issue. He also promises it to be more open and bi-partisan.

The president said he wants " to consult closely with our Republican colleagues" and ask them “to put their ideas on the table,” during an interview Sunday with CBS News anchor Katie Couric.
