Democrats push for reconciliation on healthcare bill

The President and Democratic Congressional leaders are trying to push through their healthcare reform bill in advance of the President's scheduled healthcare summit with Republicans. Polls say a majority of Americans want Congress to start over on healthcare reform, as Republican leader John Boehner notes below.

From The Hill:

Keying off reports that President Barack Obama plans to present a unified Democratic healthcare plan prior to the Feb. 25 summit and reports that congressional Democrats aren't quite sure what will be in it, Boehner's office issued a statement to reporters Thursday once again calling on the White House and congressional Democrats to start from scratch on healthcare reform.

I wonder why the President would offer to hold a summit with Republicans if he's planning on ramming through his healthcare reform before the summit?
