Obama Offers Health Care Concessions

Weren't the Republicans FURIOUS about the idea of health care reform being passed without support of any of them and with them being unable to filibuster?

Haven't the Republicans wanted malpractice reform for years?

Hasn't the GOP being crying that there's no "bipartisanship" since the new Administration and new Congress have "taken over"?

...So, right there in the Cabinet Room, the President put a proposal on the table, according to two people who were present. Obama said he was willing to curb malpractice awards, a move long sought by Republicans that is certain to bring strong opposition from the trial lawyers who fund the Democratic Party.

What, he wanted to know, did the Republicans have to offer in return?

Nothing, it turned out. Republicans were unprepared to make any concessions, if they had any to make...
