US President Barack Obama will hold a televised, summit-style meeting to discuss healthcare reform with both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Speaking on CBS News, he said the discussions would aim to explore the “best ideas”, “step-by-step”.
Senate Republic leader Mitch McConnell said “shelving” the bill would be the best way to reach consensus.

The loss of a Senate seat in Massachusetts in January to Republican Scott Brown deprived the Democrats of their filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the Senate.
