COMMENTS: Barack’s Back on Healthcare Beat
President Barack Obama is back at the White House after last week's overseas trip. ABC's Jake Tapper heard him ramp up pressure on Congress to produce healthcare legislation before the August recess. "Will likely not happen," was his conclusion. The $1tr/decade pricetag is the obstacle for Republicans and "moderate" Democrats, Tapper reported; for "liberals" it is the possible lack of a "government-run plan to compete with private insurers." NBC's Chuck Todd filed a brief stand-up on healthcare reform in which he pointed to a "clear-the-deck mentality" at the White House. CBS did not file from the White House at all.
