Obama invites leaders of both parties to half-day discussion of health care

The Star Tribune reported Sunday that the President Obama has asked GOP leaders to come together with democratic leaders to try to find a solution to the health care problem in a televised talk. Experts say he is doing this because he is not only trying to revive the health care issue after his loss of another Democratic seat in the Senate, but also to address the issues raised by Republicans. That issue is that the talks about health care were secretive and partisan.

This article shows immediacy as this talk will come later this month. It also shows prominence because the health care issue has been a major factor in the U.S. for the last few months. It also shows the conflict between Republicans and Democrats over the health care issue. There is also impact because the bill that they want to pass in the Senate would affect a lot of Americans.
