President Obama is expected to meet with congressional leaders today for ongoing talks on reconciling the differing House and Senate healthcare bills. House Democrats have already agreed to drop a public insurance option and are now facing increasing pressure to accept a tax on high-cost healthcare plans. Labor unions have opposed taxing the plans, which workers have often won in exchange for accepting lower wages and other benefits.
