WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- President Obama prepared to rally Senate Democrats Sunday on a healthcare bill bogged down by abortion, a public option and a Medicare panel, officials said.
Obama was to meet with Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other Senators in a rare Sunday session ahead of possible debate Monday on key amendments.
Conservative Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has threatened to filibuster reform legislation unless it contains restrictions on abortion coverage and the Senate has yet to find common ground on a government-run public option for health insurance.
Also up for discussion is the scope of an independent Medicare Advisory Board, which would have the power to rein in Medicare spending if costs continue to rise after 2014, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

This would have been unspeakable in saner times.
How true.
And can you believe this stupid article references Ben Nelson as a "conservative". I guess socialized_medicine minus socialized_abortion equals conservatism, to the writer of this article.
Hopefully he’ll rally them the same way he rallies the US military....
Jackals.
They are working on Sunday?
socialized_medicine minus socialized_abortion equals conservatismThank you for that.
That's the best formulation of Republican Stupidity on Healthcare that I've seen to date.
I say irrelevant because, if this bill passes, theyll add on abortion coverage at a later time, as an amendment to some other bill that passes in the dark of night.They won't even have to do that. The first hag-witch who wants to get paid to slaughter her unborn and is denied the green-stuff will run straight to a judge who will straight-away restore her "rights".
I would wager that the "other Senators" are the reluctant democrats receiving the thumb-vice "persuasion." Just can't wait another day.
Is he taking AF1?
TWO WORDS:
Interesting. Why does he make his trips to the HILL on Sundays?
Has he gone there on FRIDAYS?
Tyrants never tire.
No mosque today Barry?
There...fixed it.
Much better!
Obama can’t go to the Hill on Fridays.
Friday is the day Obama lays his prayer rug down in the Oval Office and prays toward Mecca with his boney ass up in the air....
35% public support of this bill. That means, “Hurry up and pass it. QUICK!” And do it “in secret” on the weekends when no one watches the news!
He’s been to church twice. Easter(MO looked madder than a wet hen) and a month or so ago for a photo op with the family. That’s it! He can’t go to the mosque until he does his big “I am converting, I’m now a Muslim like my sister, she talked me into it” speech.
This “administration” & anyone who is secretly planning and discussing obamaCare against the will of the People will lose in the end. They will be voted out and will never see this monstrous bill ever enacted or implemented across all 50 States. It is UNimplementable, no matter how secretly the libs hide away and plan it.
You took the words right out of my mouth. By the way, did Obama ever settle on a church yet, since leaving that black liberation racist from Chicago. I’m sure he can find another church he can attend where he hasn’t a clue what the preacher says for 20 years!
