Democrats close to the White House told CNN that it has reached the point in the healthcare debt that the Obama administration is seriously considering pushing through a healthcare reform bill but without backing from Republican members of Congress.
Republicans and conservative Democrats have been standing in the way of a Democratic senate majority regarding the healthcare debate, which has left them short of the 60-vote margin that can stop a filibuster, needed to pass the bill.

From its present forum of public meetings, the health care debate is moving into the realm of television as factions on each side of the issue are launching multimillion-dollar ad champagnes to advance the debate.

Such groups such as the AARP and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are expending as much as a combined total of $500,000 daily on health care, as stated by the non-partisan Campaign Media Analysis Group. Through this they are able to reach TV viewers in more than 20 states.
