President Obama is meeting with both Democrats and Republicans at a health care summit today. You can see live video of the talks after the jump, but to bring you up to speed, the NY Times reports that Obama, in his opening remarks (which came from a teleprompter-less table), "called on the two parties to abandon their talking points and engage in a real unscripted discussion." Republican Senator Lamar Alexander asked Obama to abandon "reconciliation" and start over while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) said there's no time to start over.
