After 8 hours, health care talks just let up today, according to CBS White House reporter
Mark Knoller:
White House health meeting with Congressional Democratic leadership just ended - after 8 hours.
Obama has apparently brought down the hammer, trying to reach an agreement on health care.
Prodded by President Barack Obama, senior Democratic lawmakers held lengthy talks at the White House on Wednesday as they searched for a final compromise on overdue health care legislation.
Several officials said numerous details remained to be settled, including the size of the subsidies that would go to lower-income Americans who require help in affording insurance.
It was not clear what progress, if any, the day's negotiations yielded. "I don't know whether they'll get through discussing all that they need to today," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. MSNBC
