When it comes to health care reform, President Obama and the Democrats seeming to be going all-in. Obama has proposed a plan that largely follows the Senate proposal, though it merges some of the points of the House plan.

This comes just ahead of Thursday's reform summit, where Dems will make the case for this comprehensive approach. Republicans plan to show up, but have already slammed the proposal as more of the same that Americans don't want and can't now afford.

Dems argue that health care reform can't be done piecemeal, with only the most popular element, because the changes are all linked -- to offer insurance to those with potentially costly pre-existing conditions, for example, healthy people not currently insured would have to enter the system a pay premiums to offset the cost. Many can't enter the system without subsidies. Etc.

The Dems appear to be cautiously embracing the push, saying it's their last, best chance for reform, according to the Associated Press.

What do you think about Obama's new push? Not the right time? Have the lawmakers come too far to turn back? Your premiums going up?
