Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) is willing to start from scratch on healthcare to cobble together a bipartisan bill.
“I’m willing to push the reset button,” Cleaver said, although he appeared skeptical about the prospects for any new legislation from a restart of the process. The Missouri Democrat also said health care reform is “too important” to be passed with only Democratic votes, as White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has recently suggested.
So far this is only one Democrat’s opinion, but this could spell trouble for the White House if other lawmakers jump on board
