Congress taking on the President’s healthcare plan

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress begins work this week on President Barack Obama’s proposed health overhaul as the White House signals a willingness to compromise.
   
With Republicans fighting the idea of a government-run health insurance plan, members of President Barack Obama’s team say they are open to a cooperative program using taxpayer money but not government control.
   
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says “there is no one-size-fits-all idea.“ Sebelius appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and CNN’s “State of the Union.“
   
Obama is addressing the American Medical Association’s annual meeting in Chicago today.
   
A senior administration official says Obama will tell the doctors that reducing health-care costs is the most important thing he can do for the country’s long-term fiscal health.
