Of course Republicans were involved in the health care discussions, to claim otherwise is absurd. The entire notion of a "public option" was a compromise from the original idea of a single payer health plan. The bills that were finally unveiled were pulled every more rightward from the original discussions precisely because of Republican input. And even once they got 80% of what they wanted, they still voted no. And nothing is going to change that. It doesn't matter what happens to the bill, Republicans don't want to see anything passed that might seem like a victory for Obama. Boehner has said so. McConnell has said so. Steel has said so.
